General Electric Transformer

Help! I've a Model 81 Canadian General Electric 1936 Tombstone Radio that needs lots of TLC. First off, it's missing the power supply and I need help as to how to go about getting a replacement so that I can start the rebuild process. I do have the owners manual outlining all the radio's specs and in the case of the Power Supply it says:
Power Supply Ratings:
Rating A - 105-125 VOlts,50-60 cycles, 80 Watts
Rating B - 105-125 Volts,25-60 cycles, 80 Watts

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Hi Greg

You will also need the number of windings, voltage & current of each. Most radios have a 6.3 volt filament winding, 5 volt @ 2 amp rectifier filament winding and high voltage center tapped.

This site has a good assortment of power transformers.

I just posed all the information you will need. Went through a lot of time and trouble doing it. Look down the list for yourself.
