Title: Eico 730 Modulator Post by: k5ygc on November 03, 2021, 06:31:10 AM Has anyone found a replacement OPT for the modulator? Or would it be best to have it rewound? Thanks Mark K5YGC Email is kc5ygc1@gmail.com

Another choice, but not sure if it would fit in would be an ART-13 mod transformer, but based on what you modulating, make sure the turns radio is good.

Thanks Mark K5YGC Email is kc5ygc1@gmail.com If we are discussing plate modulation the modulation or OutPut transformer should require this: The Impedance ratio is ~ 2.2:1 (Primary to secondary), so the turns ratio should be ~ 1.5:1, (Primary to secondary).

If it will fit on the chassis, it is rated at 60 watts, so will easily handle the pair of EL34s. I may have a used one. If you want me to check, please email me. Good at qrz |
