Transformer for Phillips 389AN
9/9/2007 3:56:48 PMDon Klempka
Hello all, looks like I'm getting rather good at picking up basket cases to work on.. groan..! Recent purchase is a Phillips 489AN made in USA during the war. I do have a schematic for this but not sure how to attach it in my posting so people can take a look at it. My problem is that the transformer is shot, tar dripping out of the bottom of it, and there is a socket on the top where you can insert a jumper wire for the diesired voltage. The socket on top is also half melted. I know that phillips only manufactured in the us during the war, then went back to holland, so it may be impossible to find any parts for this. If anyone could look at the schematic (i could e-mail it, or let me know how to attach it to my posting) and possibly give recommendations as to a replacement available from AES or something, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My service provider is changing from BellSouth to AT&T, and every time I use it something is different, I just got posted about four times without touching anything. Last week, I gave someone a site that has numerous oddball transformers, look back and see if you can find it, he might have a Phillips transformer, or one that you can make do. You have a bit of leeway in the B Voltage, so a few Volts off will not make much if any difference in the performance.
