Philco 90 Audio Transformer
#7

(I do not know where to find data on 2848 xfmr).


Well, just find the ends of your primary.

A Pushpull for 2x45 impedance is about the same as 1x47.
If it was a pushpull transformer, the ends of it were probably connected to the anodes, use those.

Here what you could do to make sure:


1. Unsolder the voice coil.
2. Using a Variac and a Voltmeter, supply a goodly amount of AC voltage to the full primary (to P-P ends). Say, 60V. Measure the output by the Voltmeter out of the secondary. It should be close to 0.6V.
3. If not, find a tap and an end of the primary that will give you 97:1 ratio, that is 60V fed to primary gives you about 0.6V output. These are your contacts to use.



-----------



Another alternative: at some point you will need a Push-Pull xfmr, so save this one and get an SE transformer with 97:1 ratio. (well, it is 100:1 in Philco 20).
