ID 5E3 PT

[angelodp]

Hi guys trying to determine what this PT of a 5E3 build is.

It reads 1155-1017 6050215

Build has a unconventional wiring setup and trying to determine what this PT is exactly.

We have a bad hum, suspect strange wiring?

Any help IDing this PT greatly appreciated.

Wires

2 heaters - green
5v to rectifier - yellow ( pair )
2 - rectifier - red pins 4&6
1- red/white to ground
1 - green/yellow to ground
1 - orange capped
2 - black - both to fuse output
1 - brwn/ white stripe - power switch
1 - brwn = also to power switch

It was made OEM for someone, maybe Victoria. I am told Victoria did used to (quietly) sell their iron to hobbyists. Don't remember ever seeing a Vicky with a universal voltage PT though, which is why it has the double wires (Brown & Brown/White; Black & Black/White).

A little research brought up a thread right here at TAG...

Ok been looking around and the Lenco sites does not produce anything. Any idea what those bwn/white and brown wires are tapped at? two black wires?

Ok moving on the amp passes DC onto my guitar, very scratchy. Same guitar on a Redplate -no problem. So we are getting some DC onto the guitar? Any suggestions? Bad cap ?

Is there voltage on the orange wire? If not it is probably the shield which goes to ground.
