Noobie with a simple Transformer question

Hi,

Long-time listener. First time caller...

I acquired a "Realistic Output Transformer manufactured for Radio Shack by Acrosound" at an estate sale recently. The label is red and white like Acrosound labels. It states "Type RS-310." I am assuming RS stands for "Radio Shack" and this designation was a convenient record-keeping decision.

The only literature I could find was an old Acrosound catalogue of Ultralinear transformers.

In this Acrosound document the morphology and dimensions of this RS-310 corresponds to the "Type A" Acrosound case.

But Acrosound did not produce any "RS-310" models. They did produce, however, a "TO-310" model (which IS in a Type A case).

The question is: Is this RS-310 just a re-branded Acrosound TO-310?

I ask because I don't wish to assume they are the same just because they both have "310" in their model names. I am hoping someone here has some insight on this!

Thanks!

I think it's a safe bet that it's a real TO-310. You can find a mate on eBay now and then. If you can provide a pic it can probably be confirmed.
