In the past couple of weeks i've come across some nice power transformers I'd like to find a good use for. In both cases I have the schematics and I'd like to figure out some suitable amp builds for them.
The first is from a Hewlett-Packard audio oscillator that originally powered 2 6v6's, 1 6l6, 2 6sj7's, a 6sq7 and a 5y3.
The other is a Stancor from a Voice of Music Tape Recorder and it powered a single ended 6v6 amp, 3 12ax7s, 1 12au7, and a 6e5 eye tube. I have the single ended output transformer but I was wondering if the PT might be suitable for a tweed 5e3 or Harvard build. If not I'll probably make a Vibro-Champ.
Schematics are attached.
Any suggestions?

This will give you the info to know for sure. I'd wire that SE 6V6 back up with an extra input stage and give it a listen. It should give you a nice range of sounds from cream to scream.
