finding an einstein 100W power transformer

[chmuzz]

Hi,

I've an Einstein 100W head in my repair shop, located in Reunion island
S/N : 003/189
6.3V winding is in short cut on main transformer, so it has to be replaced.
Where can I buy one (for 230V 50Hz) ?

Where is Reunion Iland ?

Transformers are only available from Diezel.

Sorry, I didn´t heard about a broken heater
winding since 30 years experience of repairs.

Hello,
Reunion island is one of mascaraignes islands (including Mauritius) located near Madagascar, Indian Ocean.
It's a french county.

Well, indeed the heater is'nt broken : primary winding and secondary winding are in short cut : I think the power tranny has had an overheat problem.
According to my customer, the problem occured several days after retubing (JJ EL34), during a training session : the amp was in standby during one hour and when the guitarist came back, led was off, and main fuse blown.
I've tested the power tranny : it's primary winding is out. So I need another one, and then I'll search for the cause (maybe a short cut beetween heater and cathode in power tubes).
It will be great if I could buy the tranny online. I phoned the french representative this afternoon : he says me it would be possible to have one.

Best regards

PS : after retubing, I've biased to 65mA each pair.

Yes Mr Polizzi will contact you for transformer availability and price.
I will certainly email you to be sure of wiring tranny scheme (I've marked down the actual wiring, but just want to be sure).
