Ron;
No, when I saw that they used the descriptive term Dynaco 470 transformer and I included the Dynaco Stereo-70 A470 transformer in my initial request that they would understand what I was inquiring about. I never expected to have to tell them that the primary had to have a center tap, two screen grid taps and two plate leads and that it was an ultra-linear design. They should know that if they purport to offer a replacement for it. Unfortunately they provide no photographs of their transformer nor do they show a schematic of their offering.
If I had been ordering a transformer for an antique radio I would have gone to more trouble describing what I wanted. If they do not truly duplicate the Dynaco A470 transformer, they should provide more details of the construction on their website.
This result came after the initial contact with them by e-mail left me believing that I was to receive an off-the-shelf item. Instead they had to manufacture the unit they sent me. That caused additional delays in receiving the part.
I do hope that they will be willing to credit me back for an item I can not use. I will still be out the expense of shipping it back to them.
