Hello all,
I have an RCA RAE-84 console with a defective interstage transformer. On the schematic here on nostalgia air, it is T3, and is push-pull plate to push-pull grid and probably a whole lot of power. Does anyone know a source for anything close to this monster? The primary side is open on the beast I have here. AES has this type of Xfmr but they are only 5 watts. Way too little.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Dean

The 5 watts isn't a problem. This is a driver for grids of output tubes. Power is much lower here. The hard part is finding a center tapped primary & secondary. The only one I see is P-T124E in AES catalog.

Hi Norm,
Thanks for the quick help! I found that xfmr and the 5 watts is what had me concerned. So you think that the 124E would be a good candidate to try in this schematic? If so I'll do it! Can't hurt it any more! HA!
