Mystery OPT

I just received a pair of SE OPTs that were claimed to be from a stereo console with 6BQ5 outputs. So far so good as that's precisely what I wanted to build. Problem is, when I put 120.7 AC on the primary I get 1.9VAC out for a ratio of 63.5/1, which comes to roughly 32k/8 ohms, or 16k/4 ohms, and from what little I know of 6BQ5 characteristics that doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, 8K would be good but a console with 2 ohm speakers? Physically, the core is gapped with (actual core) dimensions of 2.25 inch wide by 1.74 inch high and .75 thick. Mounting is 2.75 centers with 10A15-10 marked on the frame. Primary and secondary, 4 wires total. No taps. Does anyone have information, or an educated guess, on what these transformers may really be or what I'm missing about 6BQ5s with such a high OPT impendence? These transformers sound an awful long way from optimum for a 6BQ5. I think you were fed some duff gen. d Pearce Consulting http://www.pearce.uk.com |
