[R-390] 600 to 8 ohm speaker converter

[Barry]

If I remember correctly, a 70 volt line speaker transformer can be used and I think that's what you're showing on the left.  An 8-ohm speaker goes to the 8-ohm output lines and the line output goes to one of the wattage taps.  I can't see the labeling on the back side of the transformer in you picture so not sure which wires those are but typically there would be one common input with multiple taps for various wattage (or volts).  As I recall, there is a recommended tap to use but I think I tried a few of them to see which one gave the best output.

HTH,

Thanks,
