  • Hammond 1650 impedance selector

    Hi all,
    I have tried to do a search on the old ampage forums but I seem to get only software errors at the moment, so here I am with a question that's probably already be answered a million times: is there a way I could hook up a Hammond 1650 OT so that I could use a selector to switch impedance? I know tubesandmore sells something like that but I live in Europe and don't feel like paying loads on shipping for something that maybe can be done with a 3 positions 3 poles rotary switch or something like that.
    Has anyone done this before and cares to share some schems?
    Thanks in advance
    Maurizio

    Hi Maurizio,

    Have a look at this:

    All you need is a solid three position rotary switch with 3 levels. I'm sure you will get one also in our old Europe .

    Ciao,
    Joachim
    Live long and prosper

      Thanks Joachim, With a bit of patience I was coming up to pretty much the same solution. What I can't understand is why Hammond sticks with these odd output configuration but hey oh...as long as it works in the end.

        Maurizio,

        My guess is that Hammond wants to use reasonably-sized secondary wire to keep transformer size and cost down, and yet maintain their full-power specifications into a 4-ohm load. According to Kevin O'Connor, Hammond had a line of output transformers with conventional 4-8-16 ohm secondaries, but I've spoken to three people at Hammond and none could confirm this, or find the part numbers in a computer search - maybe these are only available in Canada.

        I agree - it can be a real PITA to replace a 4-8-16 OT with a Hammond.

          Check out the AX84 October

          It uses a 1650F and a impedance switch, and the schematic has a wiring diagram.
