    Description

    Never used vintage Thordarson T-1A56 Tru-Fidelity single plate to line output transformer. 4k:500/333/250/200/125/50. This model is designed to support 25mA DC in the primary with a single 6F6 or similar tube (6V6 can be used in place of a 6F6 with similar results). Max level was specified at "+10dB", which was the "standard" prior to the 1939 VU specification, and doesn't mean the same thing it does today. This "old" rating approach was based on 6mW into a 500r line, not the same as dBM or dBu. Actual max level would be closer to +18dBm in power terms. If you want more on this, do a search on Groupdiy for "Peerless K-049-D Mic Input XFMR" and see PRR's post about the difference. With DC in the primary, response is rated at 60-15k. You can cap-couple it and get 30-15k, but you're not going to hear a huge difference.
    This transformer was never used and is essentially NOS, but I listed it as "open box".
    I ship same day if payment is received by 3PM central time. Otherwise, I ship the following day (except when USPS is closed).
    Thanks for looking
