Taylor 63B All wave Sig Gen transformer Info please - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

GaryH61 · 8th Apr 2018, 12:40 pm

Good Afternoon
I have a Taylor Model 63B Sig Gen I am renovating. It appears there is no output from the mains transformer.

My question therefore is: What is the rating / output voltage of the transformer. This has two windings, one gives 6.3VAC for the valve heaters but it is the other centre tapped winding I need the info on

I have the schematic and manual for this, but unfortunately this info is not provided.

All contributions to help my quest in this project greatly accepted

Kind regards Gary

Hi Gary and welcome to the forum.

I don't have experience of the 63B and indeed as far as I can see there isn't one in the Radiomuseum.

I did work on a 65B many moons ago and ISTR that that had a 120 0 120 secondary. The HT was only 110V DC after smoothing.

If he doesn't post well worth popping a PM to FREYA who is pretty clued up on Taylor.

By the way we love pictures someone may not know the model number off the top of their head but recognise the beast in the flesh.

Cheers

Mike T

Hi Gary

I think that says 65B on the front

Maybe a typo with the title?

That picture is from www.thevalvepage.com

That's Duke_Nukem web site he is a member here.

I will see if I can find my 65B and Measure the AC but someone else may be able to do it more quiickly than I.

Cheers

Mike T
