There is a seller on ebay that buys old amps then strips them for parts. He sells the parts on ebay. Some of his ads are wrong, miss leading and are short on information. He strips good working Tube Amplifiers and sells the parts.
The guy has a transformer for sale. The subject line says, Vintage Power Transformer 6L6 5U4 436V. The ad says, The transformer is stamped Part #15123 306003. 120V input. Windings are 426-0-426VAC, 5.4VAC, 6.75VAC, 6.5VAC. Very clean with no rust or corrosion. This large transformer used a 5U4 rectifier and powered several 12AX7's and 2 6L6's's.
I did the math 426 x 1.414 = 602 VDC. All of my tube books say 600 volts is max voltage. Typical B+ voltage is 250 to 450 VDC for a 6L6GC tube..
I told the seller I did a web search for that part number but nothing comes up. Are you sure you have your numbers correct 426 VAC would be 602 VDC. How many watts is the transformer?
His reply was. What do you need it for?
I told him what I needed it for and he said, Mine your own business!
