Philco 40-165
#9

Well the long answer is to look up the output tube's specs   http://tubedata.milbert.com/sheets/021/4/41.pdf   and look for load resistance. This is what the plate wants to see as a load. This is different from the dc resistance of the output transformer (530 ohms) or the plate resistance ( abt 68K).

At 180v it's about 9000 ohms for the primary, the secondary needs to match the impedance of the voice coil. The original spkr's vc is about 2 ohms. If you are using a pm spkr then most of those are 4 or 8 ohms.

So the short answer is you need a 9k to 4 or 8 ohm output transformer.

Check ur PM
