Transformer P/N 32-7887 - am I up a creek?
#2

Hi

I've never heard of a 38-690 that had 115/230 power transformers. Very unusual.

Because of that, I would say your chances of finding another 32-7887 are, frankly, slim to none.

You might even have a hard time coming up with a 32-7885.

There is a good alternative, however: Have Heyboer Transformers in Michigan custom wind a new transformer for you, to the same specs as the original 32-7887. If you work closely with them by providing as many details as possible, you can use the original cover and end up with a brand new transformer that is just like the original in every aspect.

They provide excellent products. I've had three or four custom wound power transformers made by them for sets I was restoring when I used to do radio repair as a sideline - never a problem with any of them. They are not cheap, but are surprisingly reasonable considering a new transformer built to original specs is a one-off special order job.

A set like a 38-690 is well worth the extra effort and expense...in my opinion.
