While 'picking' in what was essentially a barn , I stumbled upon a giant rusty rack with early electronic equipment labelled "Western Electric". As a fan of antique and vintage audio, I decided to drag it out (which was barely possible, even with the help of three friends). Upon further...
Anyone able to tell me what kind of transformers are these?
I'm not too sure I can decipher this data sheet much.

Dynaco SCA 35, WE CardMatic Tube Tester with man and calibration cell and cards, also but not shown Zenith Leather TO with the 1L6, hope its good. All but the WE tube tester have various issues but have notes with each what the problems are.
I'm looking around for my first ever tube amplifier and am considering a few Western Electric units (or license-produced Western Electric). When I use hifishark and other websites to check values, it seems like the vast majority of past WE sales have taken place on Japanese auction sites...
Not a Audio tube book but covers in one volume almost all based gridded tubes made in the USA and Canada, Has complete chapters on WE and Eimac and lots of info. from the RCA tube headquarters in NJ. Great Book also comes with CD-ROM, I have not looked at that so far. 288 pages
Hello all,
Typically I try not to create threads asking simple questions, but I have run into an issue attempting to research the specs/data-sheets for a pair of Western Electric 2008B input transformers. I have spent the last few days searching through WECO transformer lists between the...
I recently came across an old Western Electric loud speaking telephone outfit suitcase amp with a d-95036a amp, I believe it is a 275a push pull, I am no expert. The interior of case is stamped d-94675 e, the 12 inch speaker has a sa1617 17. Schematics are online if you google them.
My main...
Can anyone please tell me is WE made their own speakers or were they made by Altec ?
I have recently acquired 4 x 2080-A fifteen inch drivers that came from a Sydney cinema and on each the label says the ' property of the ' Western Electric Company made in England !
If anyone can shed some light...
Yesterday I purchased this ampf rom a Craigslist seller. I didn't take a close look at it at first, except I noticed two switches marked with TV/FM and FM/RP (record player?) and a single knob next to them. The seller knew nothing about it except it was missing tubes so it didn't work. I figured...
I recently picked up a box of assorted tubes at a flea market and had a pretty exciting find in it - a US Navy branded Western Electric 306A that looks pretty promising. With the value of the tube, I'm not willing to take a chance at testing it with the wrong settings, so I'm coming here for...
Ok perma noob question: Whats a good way to test this loud speaker? This might sound sacrilegious, but I have my handy dandy pyle pro 2x40 watt mini amplifier.(for my pc speakers)
It's either that or my beastly old JVC 4 channel (4vr 5456x)
Is this thing 8 ohm?
This was another score at...
After installing Western Electric 11ga tinned speaker cables in my Dayton USA PS220-8 based speakers and discovering they're actually the best sounding speakers I own (betterring my Aurum Cantus F620, B&W DM16, Pioneer CS-88A amd Polk TSi100's), I decided it was time to get rid of the nasty...
So yesterday I picked up two old tube amps. One is an Altec 324A which is pretty gutted, granted, the schematic is readily available. I also got an RCA MI-9335 in the deal, which is much more complete, despite looking like a rats nest underneath. I was hoping someone may have a schematic for the...
