I’m a repair shop based in Utrecht the Netherlands.

For a customer i need a replacement transformer for his Forty-five Head
serial: AE020213

Or a chart with secondary voltages and currents so that i can find a substitude locally.
I know 6,3 V and 5V because of the GZ34 and other tubes.
But the HV and LV supply is not clear.
A schematic would be helpfull as well.

I also send an e-mail last week.

My customer and another customer, both touring and studio professionals love their VHT’s so i wnat to keep them running as good as possible.

Best Regards
BAS

Hi Gil

Thank you for your reply!

I don’t need assistance in the repair,
I’m a qualified technician and have repaired shop myself :grin:.

My clients are professional touring musicians, rental services, music venues, studios, music schools, and hobbyists

I have serviced quite some VHT equipment already, the power amps, pitbull heads and now this pitbull.
However I never had a broken transformer until now.
So what I need is a replacement transformer, or the secondary voltages of the transformer with their current rating. For an equivalent transformer made by Hammond. The 6.3V and 5V windings are obvious because of the GZ34 rectifier tube. Their current rating I can calculate based on the used tubes but the HV voltage and current rating and the LV supply for bias and switching are not that obvious.
So please help me out. I have several customers that are very happy with their vintage VHT’s that I service and I would like to keep this customer happy as well.

Pitbull Forty-Fifty
Serial number: AE020213

transformer is from 2001 looks like a Schumacher but not like the older versions that were used in the gory-five with the EIA code stamped into the covers.

I really hope you can help me.
I also contacted Haar guitars that distributes you gear. And is maybe able to get it delivered with a new batch of gear.
