1948 Westinghouse Model 1821 (182) audio problems
#65

OK, so how critical is output transformer placement? I'm asking because in my radio the ouyput transformer was originally mounted under the chassis and the new output transformer I ordered it too big to fit under the chassis and so I was thinking of mounting it above the chassis next to the speaker.

Would it be ok to mount the output transformer above the chassis on this radio or should it stay under the chassis?

Also my output transformer has two secondary windings a 6 or 8 Ohm winding and a 3.2 or 4 Ohm winding, and in my radio's case I need the 3.2 Ohm Winding, how do I tell which winding is which? because when I go to ohm out the windings on the secondary side I don't get the ohm readings I'm expecting, I get something like .6 or .8 or something like that, not a full 6 ohms or 8 ohms.
