I decided to start to work on my 41-90 since it a less complicated unit. I have ordered my Cap's
my problem is I would like to get some info on my output transformer which is a 32-8100. Is there
a link I can go to to get the specs on this, or a good book, to be able look up this kind of info.

Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce

The 1946 Philco parts catalog states that this transformer has a 25K ohm primary impedance, 3 ohm secondary. It's rated at 4 watts output although I doubt the 41-90 is capable of even putting out 1 watt since it is a small battery-operated receiver.
