What transformers do you use in your funk chassis?

I'm waiting to buy some transformers and I'm not sure which ones will fit. would anything built for a fender twin amp fit funk's chassis? Not many websites state the mounting dimensions on thier transformers which is dumb.

I used a Hammond 290FX Twin replacement PT. Fit perfectly. I imagine any Twin/Showman (125P34A type I think) replacement would fit. I got my OT from Funk and my choke from Allenamps (recycled from an older project).

I used Mercury Magnetics Fender Twin iron. The PT fits fine but the 100 watt OPT is a freakin' HUGE chunk of iron. Had to drill a couple holes but no big deal. If I ever get caught up, I'm going to finish the amp someday.

I used stock Fender replacements - Twin P.T., Twin Choke and Evil Twin O.T. (to get the output Z taps). P.T. and Choke fit perfect, O.T. requires 2 new holes.

The chassis is punched for Twin Reverb Iron. I have Heyboer sets for $225 plus s&h. The PT has an extra tap for your relays (6V) and 7A of filament current.

If you use a different OT you may have to drill some holes.

I built 2 Dumble's using Funk chassis for HiGain. He bought MM iron and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Just some minor drilling but the voltages were right on and the PT sounded huge but still bright.

Hey Brandon,

What type of Lamination do the Heyboers have? M6? or other?

Thanks.
Jim

The twin OT's are built to original spec, I believe they were M6 Iron.

They are M6.

I think all the woodward-schumacher stuff was M6, at least for fenders and music man's.

Brandon and Gary,

Thanks, I figured, they were M6 . I read elsewhere that some iron from Heyboer used other laminations was just curious what was being used for your iron.

Thanks,
Jim
