The colour of the wires:
primary: blue brown red
secondary: (bigger wire) yellow, black, green.

There is no brand on it.

Thanks
Here's the "605" manufacturer.

I wrote Lenco Electronics, Inc. a mail concerning this OT.
this is their reply:

"We are the manufacturer of the transformer in question. However, it is custom built for Victoria Amplifier. Since it is custom built for them I cannot release any information pertaining to it. I have forwarded your email to them and spoke with them regarding this. I trust you will be hearing from them."

And then I got a nice mail from Victoria amps with the specs of this transformer.

"this is a tweed Super/Bandmaster; BF Bandmaster/Vibrolux OT

4KΩ to 8Ω/4Ω 28 watt 2X6L6

yellow is 4Ω, green is 8Ω."


Very nice of both Lenco Electronics, Inc. and Victoria Amplifier to help me out with this one.

and a big thanks for all your replies here at this great forum.

Yes, very nice indeed.
Victoria is good stuff, heard them in use here in town.
They have some 'period correct' recreations of various Fender platforms, so I trust the transformer is very close to what it says it is.

Hmm, 4k primary with only 28 watt handling ...
Be carefull about not going too high on B+ with that one if you use 6L6s.

As previously stated, 8 Ohm load on the 4 Ohm tap will work nicely with a pair of 6V6.
