My son fried the transformer on this model by plugging it into a 220V outlet. Does anyone know what type of transformer this used so that I can repair it? Specifically, I need to know what voltage the transformer steps down to (from 110 V AC). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin,
I have a couple of Magnavox parts chassis. Just need to know your chassis number. It is usually written on the tuner shield.

Dave, I'll check it out tonight and let you know. Thanks

Dave,

I believe the chassis number is 640339-4. Does this sound right?

Hi Kevin,
Don't see that chassis # listed in Sams. Is your radio solid state? Might try looking for number on frame rail near power transformer.

Dave,

I found another number near the transformer. It is 214 06 00. Does this one look right?

Dave,

Are you out there?

Hi Kevin,
Don't see those numbers in Sams.
See if there's a number on the transformer itself. Both of mine are 300253-1D.

Dave,
The number on the transformer is 300209-6-606-8-06.

Kevin, your chassis number is R214-06-00, SAMS Set 878, Folder 6. On the transformer, at least one of the numbers should be 300209-6. Tho with Magnavox I wouldn't bet on anything. I believe you have a good chance of getting the transformer, but did anything else go up in smoke with it.

Bill,

I don't believe anything else was fried except the tranformner. You got the number right on the transformer. It is 300209-6-606-8-06. Do you know how I can get ahold of a replacement tranformer?

Kevin, I believe one way is to get parts is on radio related sites allowing you to post wanted ads. One is Antique Radio. Check the links on this site. Do a search. Hammond Transformer might have one that will work. You could even end up with a parts set from your area. Also, I don't think Magnavox changed the specs on the power transformer that much over the production time of the Astro-Sonic. Part numbers, yes. Of course it needs to fit, mount right. I have a 300252-1, secondaries 27-0-27 and 6. If you send me the dimensions, bsrhicks at yahoo dot com I'll compare. We'll go from there.

Bill,

I tried to send you email but it failed at the address you gave me. The dimensions of the transformer are as follows:

Metal plates measure 2 5/8” (H) x 2 3/16” (W) x 1 1/8” thick

Mounting plates holes (4) are 1 ¾” apart

There are also a total of 7 wires coming from the transformer.

I tried looking at Hammond for one but don't know what the specs are for the one I have. Do you have that information?

I see...Sorry about that Kevin. E-mail is shedradios at yahoo dot com. Your transformer primary is 117 VAC @ .18A AC, secondaries are 54 VAC CT @ .22A DC and 6.3 VAC @ .45A AC per parts list. The dimensions on yours are same as the one I have. Same number of leads.

Bill,

I checked with Hammond and they would have to sell me two different transformers. Do you have one available for sale and if so, how much?

Bill,

I finally hooked up the new transformer and everything works great. The one you sold me had the same color wires so it was easy to re-connect. Thanks for your help.
