The good news is I have a KCS 34B. The bad news is I might need it's transformer. I picked up a T-120 that someone has messed up the power suppyly, replaced power transformer with possibly the wrong one, then, wired it wrong.I still have to check. However, I do have an extra one with bad wires,that I believe is not toast. It's a commontrhasformer in RCA's, and was used on a number of chassis'. Voltages, approx., follow:

Pri. 117volts ac. 50-60hz. Hv. Winding. 730volts AC Center tapped.
Sec.2 5volts AC 4 A.
Sec. 3 6.3 AC. I belive that one is 11A.
Sec. 4. 6.3 AC 2A insulated for 1200 volts. This fil. alone is used for the 6W4 fil. , which is not grounded, as it is connected to cathode to cut back on danger of arcing. Never ground this, or connect it with other filaments, as I guarantee it WILL cause major dammage.

If I am wrong about that winding, and your damper tube just happens to be a 5V4 The fil. specs follows: 5.0volts, 3A. Insulated for 1200 volts. On our inflated ac voltage of 120-124volts ac, The voltages will be somewhat higher.

I hope this helps.
