[Amps] Transformer i.d.

The 3K/5K manual is not on BAMA.  There is one for the 3K/8K.  In that manual there is a page that has several transformers.  Unfortunately, the 1028 is not listed.

It is looking like I am just going to have to "bite the bullet" and hook up like 25.6 VAC to the secondary and then determine which of the primary windings is which.

I downloaded all of the Henry manuals from BAMA and the 1028 transformer is not in any of them.  Of course, I did save those manuals for further reference.

I think you can download the 3k/5k manual from BAMA and it will associate the Transformers with models. I think yours is for the 3k Classic Console Amp for Export, if I remember correctly. I can look when I get home tonight. It is in the book. It is not always "Gospel" so-to-speak. Henry played fast and loose for several years. You can find the 5k transformers in 2k and 3k and you can find the weaker transformers in the models marked X that really were not export. Most of those did not have the 10 meter position. But even that is not a hard and fast rule. I think they built what the customer wanted (refreshing). I purchased several amps over the years and none was exactly what the manual said because what I wanted was what they wanted to build. Lots of 8ks out there with 3k face plates.
