Transformer ID I've got this rather rare amp that someone has brought me. It a Mibur. Made in 1967 in Port Arthur ON - which no longer even exists! It amalgamated with it's sister city of Fort William and is now Thunder Bay. Anyway, there are a couple of Hammond Transformers that I can't seem to locate specs on. A 229 model Power & Heater trany and a 1664 Output transformer. I would rather not rip the amp apart to calculate all the basic specs, so if anyone knows anything about these guys, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. GVB |

You may be able to get an answer directly from Hammond. They routinely build OEM transformers. Since they are a Canadian company, this practice is probably more prevalent north of the US border. I would bet they keep fairly accurate records of this stuff. Doc |

Wow, I didn't think anyone was actually going to be able to ID the thing. A couple of quick questions. How did you find this out? I would love to have more resources to ID transformers. Second, do you know the color codes on it? Thanks for the info. GVB |
