Stewart-Warner 950 battery set
#10

Finally got around to melting most of the tar out of the output transformer... what a PITA. I left some of it in, just got enough out to get the transformer partially out of the can. Once I had it that far, it was pretty easy to access all the wires. I stripped the ends and put on new color coded wires (after ohming the coils out to make sure which was which). I used modern colors (Brown/Red/Blue) for the primary, and Gray and White for the secondary. I've now reinstalled it and connected it up. For testing purposes, I inserted a 71A into the other 112 socket. The parameters are not even close, but amazingly, it actually helped to even out the distortion and increase the volume. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to rebuild one of the interstage transformers... just have to figure out some how which is which..
