[Amps] Gonset Transformer Replacement

[monk]

Hi,

  I've done a couple of Gonset transformer replacements. The first one was a GS101. I bought a transformer from Ameritron for a 811h amplifier. The new transformer was less than $100.00. I yarded out the old transformer, choke,filament transformer, filament transformer for the 866 tubes,and the 866 tubes. All said and done the Gonset weighs 35 pounds less than original and works just as well.
  The other one I did was a GS201. I replaced the transformer with a pair of transformers from a junk CB Maverick amplifier. I ran the transformers in series and they bolted into the same space as the old transformer. It was an easier conversion as the 201 had solid state rectifiers.
  If you have questions feel free to ask.
