The tube count shows a load of 3.45 amps, including the dial lights.
You'd have to check the operating temp of the PT, after a few hours. If it seems to run warm, you might have to subsitute #47 dial lights to reduce to current a bit.
Depends how much reserve is built in the transformer. Hammond transformers are a great product!  |
I got the transformer on monday and Installed it. I also fused both leads on the secondary that go to the rectifier. After about a hour running it started to get warm. I pulled out the dial lights and they were 44's. I put in 47's in. I'll have to run it tomorrow night to see if anything changes heat wise on the transformer.
What a sensitive radio! Especially on shortwave. Got all kinds of stations, more than any of my other radio's
