I was browsing Edcor's "New Products" page for something unrelated and saw this:

Looks like a beefy tranny for EL34 or KT88 use with paralleled GZ34 capability :))

Cheers!

Does that trannie drop onto an ST70 chassis without drilling new holes?

One possible problem is that this trannie is upright mounting, which will orient its core in a line with the cores of the OPTs in an ST70 chassis. That could couple 60Hz hum into the OPTs, right? Not a good thing if that happens. Is that a problem, you think?

Haven`t tried it. An adapter plate from a square of aluminum isn`t beyond most weekend DIYèrs.

That`s why power transformers are moutned at 90 degrees to the output transformers. Simple and effective.

that transformer will not work. It only has one 6.3v heater supply good for 5 A. You need another heater supply or higher amperage. more like 7 or 8 A.
