Current Rating West Labs 15W PT?

Post by davesi »

Came across one of these with upright mounting. Does anyone know the current ratings on these 15W Matchless type PTs? This thing is Huge! 14ga filament secondaries, about eight pounds... Hard to believe this much iron is needed for a little over 100ma.. I like the 285-0-285 voltage, trying to decide on an appropriate home. It will NOT fit in my pj to Spitfire conversion. Maybe a ZWreck (170ma?)


Any info appreciated.
