Philco 40-180 Output Transformer 32-8053 Replacement
#3

Thanks John! I need to clean my half highs. I meant to say 41's. Great tips. I have an open side to center tap on the primary so I am trying to figure the right impedance. I did recheck based on 41's from radioremembered and I do see now 12k. I think I will give the Hammond replacement a try. Now I have to figure out how to make a 2 meg volume control with a 1 meg tap! I just discovered that that isn't tracking anywhere where it needs to be over the range.....unless I can dismantle it and clean it, we'll see. Thanks again. This 40-180 is open heart surgery with all the guts on the table!

Gary
