The BT-20-A broadcast transmitter uses several filament transformers for
the various stages. All of them are rated at 100 volts AC primary. All
of the primaries pass through a voltage adjusting rheostat and volt
meter to insure proper filament voltage on all tubes. I'm sure GE did
this to insure there was plenty of room, high or low, for various line
voltages encountered. However, it's created a problem since I haven't
seen a lot of 100 vac primary transformers floating around. Any help
locating a 100 vac primary/5 vac @2.5 amp secondary would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
