Oh Dear! This item has been sold but take a look around for other similar items

No idea which broadcast or military equipment this came from, in the past I have dismantled masses of equipment and my records of components removed are not complete.

I suspect this audio transformer is interstage and most likely from vintage broadcast comm's equipment or military.

I have image searched the company logo stamped onto the casing but even TinEye has been unable to identify who made this transformer.

 

Audio transformer

Rectangular format - press/welded sealed metal

Measures:

Body: 70mm length x 60mm wide x 21mm height

Mounting tabs extend the length by a further 13mm each side

Flying leads 100mm length

Markings are exactly as below:

 

1127-8107

2031

962132-1

REV-B

Stamped onto the top is the manufacturers logo - see the photograph closeup of this

 

COSMETIC CONDITION:

Excellent

 

TESTING (limited)

DC Resistance tests

Yellow/Green leads - 26 Ohm

Blue/Purple leads - 26 Ohm

Orange/Brown leads - 52 Ohm

Red/Orange or Red/Brown - 26 Ohm

In other words, the Red lead is a centre tap of the windings colour coded Orange/Brown

 

As I have a few different audio transformers that I no longer need, I decided to dig out some basic test equipment to provide more detail on the transformer characteristics

Test equipment used: AWA Low Distortion Audio Oscillator G232, Leader AC Voltmeter

Audio source was input to Yellow/Green and the measured output at Orange/Brown

Input to the transformer under test was made at 100mV @ 50Hz, 100Hz, 1Khz, 5Khz, 10Khz, 20Khz  & 50Khz

Using test signal @ 1Khz, I have determined the following:

Turns ratio: 1: 0.50

Impedance ratio: 1: 0.25

Frequency response (a very rough test and not graphed) was surprising, this particular transformer stands out due to the flat response from 50Hz to 50Khz, barely a 1dB change across the whole frequency range.

It would seem that this audio transformer is fine for general or high end audio use

 

Note that these tests were not exhaustive but at least shine a little more light on the characteristics of this audio transformer

Testing performed as outlined in the description. Used item, non returnable
