I have the power and output transformers from a junked Arkay FL-10 hi fi amp. I thought, that because it had a 5y3 and 2 6v6’s a 12ax7 and some other preamp tubes, it might work nicely with a 5E3. But I built a 5f2a instead. A knucklehead move to be sure, but I really want a 5f2a. I haven’t yet fired it up. Assembling was easy, but understanding how it all works...
So my question is this: Do I rule, in or out, the output transformer for a 5f2a? There’s no info on the transformers or construction manual, but I have the schematics. The schematic voltages are the same on both 6V6’s: 335 volts to the plate (pin 3) in each and 330 volts to each grid #2. I’m assuming the 5th lead is a center tap and the schematic has the voltage at 338 volts. Can I use just two of these primaries? Or is the likelihood of ‘Kaboom’ very high?
