Can't help you with the Kolster as I would need to know which Kolster model it came from, plus I can't possibly know which wires do what on your proposed replacement. Hopefully they are all labeled. If not, you can figure them all out with a multimeter set to read ohms, but that will take a bit of time.
Hi Ron,
The transformer came out of a Kolster radio model K27.
What are the resistance of the primary windings, remember that the model K27 has a high and low setting for line volatges, and secondaries for the filament voltages such as the 26, 27, 80, and 71a. Last but not least the high voltage secondary too.
The Kolster transformer has like I have said before is nearly indentical to the Philco transformer except the 27 filament is 2.2 volts.
If I were going to get the transformer rewound from the Heyboer company what kind of data on the windings should I give them and could you pass on the data to me?
Sincerely,
Radionut
