Hi, all,
Instead of springing $$$ for a used copy, you might try this link to search for a copy to borrow in your area.  Change the ZIP code to suit your location.  Here's the link:

Jack,

I think you nailed the proper unit for the application that I found.  Based
on Don's findings (1949 Catalog) it looks like BA may have reused a part
number.

For anyone  else on the list who is curious, see here:
http://www.amazon.com/Building-amateur-station-photofact-publication/dp/B0007E1TFY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421120654&sr=8-1&keywords=pyle+novice+station

This was a really well-done book from 1966 - If Heathkit had given you a
blank chassis and panels, then their assembly manual would have looked like
this book, complete with drill and punch templates.  The weakness of the
text is that it specifies many parts by Manufacturer's part number, rather
than by characteristic.  I have tracked down a number of these, but never
had a BA catalog.

This particular transformer is used in a crystal-controlled single tube
transmitter.  The tube is a 6DQ6 IIRC.

Don and Jack,  thank you again for checking!
