Ceriatone transformer

[jestaudio]

Any suggestions for a decent Transformer for my 50w Ceriatone build, i ve looked at Niks trannies but with postage its way to expensive, i need a 240 primary, 345,60,6,3.15 if i,m reading the diagram correctly

[Drumslinger]

look up Magnetic Components.

mmm.........from Magnetic Component I think you can find only 120V prim. trafo

some time ago I asked them for a twin type transformer 100W / 240V prim. and they said that it was not possible to have it!

I don't know!!

[Drumslinger]

no worries. they just came out with them recently. don't think they make the 100w PT in 240v just yet for Fender but they do have it in the Marshall style.


Power, 100W, 100/120/220/230/240V

Great service too from Phil, just received my Hammond miniHRM iron from him today

Dont forget if you go with any xfrmrs other than Merc Magnetics or Ceriatone you will also have to add separate 6v xfrmr for relays.
Niks have that built in.
Although the other xfrmr can be picked up at radio shack and installed next to PT on inside of chassis. Just more clutter
I would have liked to tried Merc Magnetics but youd think they are made of gold by the pricing. Just used Ceriatones instead.

The Hammond I mentioned has a 5v tap which I used to power my relays and works just fine.

[T Wilcox]

Which Hammond are you using?

[T Wilcox]

Disregard sorry
Stupid question
Reading this on my iPhone and didn't go back and reread

Big thanks to everyone who has put forth a opinon, looks like i will initially go for hammond items based on price/performance, to be honest i ,m aiming to get a solid amp first then play around later

[jestaudio]

just another(of the hundreds) question on the trannie, how critical is it to get the exact voltages, ie 345/60/6/3.15 on the drawings, mojo trannie 355/50/5/3.15. The hammond equilent is slightly lower on the main secondry, heaters etc are the same as the Mojo

You can get the Mojotone (Heyboer) from Allparts UK:-

Heyboer are a popular choice here also. It doesn't have a 5v tap for the relays, but you can get a 6v tranny from Maplin for a few quid that does the job perfectly.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Paul.

i was looking at the vibrolux trannie from mojo which does have a 5v tap, not sure if the it has the right currnt rateings but looks pretty similar to the bassman unit
