SLO100 clone transformers?

8/13/2000 1:54 AM
rmike	SLO100 clone transformers? Can anyone recommend transformers for a clone of the Soldano SLO 100? I know some people have built this amp...I wonder what transformers were used? I'd really like to build one of these. I don't know how to calculate backwards from the circuit the voltage required from the PT. I thought about building it from a Bassman 100 or 135, but this is probably a bad idea considering I'd have to add two nine pin sockets. Plus it's a vintage hack, even though not too many collectors go after these particular models. And I don't know if the PT could take the extra current of the added 12ax7s (.6 amps extra if I remember correctly). In closing, what's 'the word' on 100 watt SLO trannies? thanks, mike
