Transformer problem Dumble 50

[Oddvar R]

Has the DC voltage changed significantly with respect to the previous?

No, it's the same. 448v from the OT to the power tubes.

O the "Dumble" transformers are shippe back to Tube Town, great company by the way.

I am looking to try Pacific Transforme, they have a Bassman copy. Anyone tried those?

if you are in Europe , i assume, you can order from Piemme Italy, and we will know how good they are

Not tried myself, but interested! Any idea how much shipping and customs would be to Europe? I mean, they are in the US, so....

i was ordering many times from US, it is like 150usd for trafo, 60-100 usd for shipping, and on all it is minimum 25%
250x1.25=312 usd, yo pay double, too expensive, and for unknown result

sure bet is only original fender transformer, SF, BF, but usually are only 4 ohms.. nothing to be worried about because they are good also for 8 ohms..

the sound is in lamination and wax/impregnation

Some 15 years ago I did my last order from Brian Wallace. Can't remember it being this expensive. Hell, I imported a complete Metro JTM45 kit in 2007 for $168 shipping and less than 10% customs. Still expensive, but 100 bucks shipping on a transformer is outrageous in comparison...

It's the "unknown result" that begins to worry me. I actually never thouyght PT's would mean a big difference, but this time it was huge, meaning, to me, useless.

Any chance the unknown have something to do with heater and bias voltage?

All the voltages here were ok.
