Title: Hallicrafters sx-9 transformer specs
Post by: N9AXl on May 01, 2025, 01:11:36 PM
Any ideas on the output specs of the power transformer on an SX-9.  I have a line on an SX-11 transformer.

The schematics seem more or less the same
although the sx-11 uses a 5z3 instead of a 5z4

Given the 5z3 has slightly more robust requirements I don?t see any issues aside from physical placement.

There?s some large tv type transformer in the SX-9 now but I?d eventually like to get this back to correct parts.

If it is working what does it matter if there is a TV transformer in there? Many of the old TV transformers were more robust than the OEM transformers.

I suspect a TV transformer is in there because an original could not be found.
