Finding a proper replacement transformer (explanation needed)
I'm looking to replace a transformer that has the following specs:
120v AC Power in to transformer.. transformer with 3 leads out to 36 VAC, 36 VCT and 36 VAC . This is for a California Speed. The rectifier is rated at 6 amps and there are two fuses on the board at 3amps each, however I have no spec for the amps on the transformer itself. Does anyone know the amp rating on that supply?
That being said, does anyone know where I could find a suitable replacement? (the original one also had 3 outputs of 22VAC, 22VCT, 22VAC for a total of 6 leads coming out of the transformer but the additional leads are for the subwoofer board, which I don't have anyway)
And, I think I understand volts center tapped as I will get a measurement of 36VAC across the outer two taps, but the center pole to an outer tap will only give me a measurement of 18VAC, can someone verify this?
Thanks,
