Gilfillan radio?
#30

If you look at the specs, the DC resistance of the primary is only about 450 ohms ( 218 +236 ). So if you measured the existing transformer and measured 8.6K, the PT-154 would only read 450 ohms when measured the same way.

Also keep in mind that what you call the primary is really the secondary which is connected to the 71A grid. The primary was connected to the 226 plate and is the open winding.

In any case, the resistance readings and 5 watt power ratings are immaterial. What you want is a step up interstage transformer with a 1 to 3 ratio, which is the standard transformer for driving a 71A output from a 226. While the PT-154 will work with a 1 to 1.5 ratio, the PT-156 is a better choice and will provide more volume.
Yes have to remember that were talking about impedance and not just resistance. I've done a little reading and the 1:3 appears to be the standard. I ordered the PT-156 and will now do the rest of the caps I think I will hang on to these and keep them with the radio as I've never seen this construction before.
