Fender output tranny identification
Hey do any of you guys know from a glance what year this Fender OT is?
I'm going to put it on the sell block and I want to get an idea of what it's worth. I believe it to be a silverface 8 ohm, but I'm not sure. Somebody put this in a Pro reverb I once restored and quite honestly...the Pro sounded better with this.
It says Fender on the top and the numbers are.. oo2855
606834
Thanks

Re: Fender output tranny identification
Could be a Schumacher-sourced Fender 022855 aka 125A9A xformer. 4K pri, single 2-ohm sec, good for 40/50 watts. Possibly '78 vintage.
Worth maybe 80 to 120 USD in perfect working condition.

Re: Fender output tranny identification
Why the gap? (It is ultralinear or something?)
Re: Fender output tranny identification
It really is'nt a seperation between two sides. It's just a groove across the center. I don't know what that means.
Re: Fender output tranny identification
I have seen that on fender BF OT's.
Nothing to worry about.

Re: Fender output tranny identification
it's a channel for mounting bolts, you can hold the bells on with 2 instead of 4 bolts if you were so inclined.
date is 34th week of 68 or 78, my guess is 78 since the leads are pvc instead of lacquered cloth but it's hard to be totally sure without the rest of the amp for reference.

Re: Fender output tranny identification
I'd say '68. Both my '66 and '67 Bassman OTs have PVC insulation on the leads, not cloth.Funkalicousgroove wrote:date is 34th week of 68 or 78, my guess is 78 since the leads are pvc instead of lacquered cloth...

Cloth leads on these, from a '73 SF BMR...I'd say '68. Both my '66 and '67 Bassman OTs have PVC insulation on the leads, not cloth.

Re: Fender output tranny identification
The original OT on my '71 Pro Reverb has cloth-covered leads, but the one in your picture and the original from my Pro are different style/manufacture OTs than the one the OP shows. The one in the OP's picture is in the style and size of a Bassman OT.FYL wrote:Cloth leads on these, from a '73 SF BMR...I'd say '68.

Whatever... it's still a useful OT for some project.
Re: Fender output tranny identification
Thanks for the input on my output guys.
How can I tell what the impedence is for sure?
