Description: Nice looking bucking transformer with stainless cover! Two grounded outlets give you two choices, 3% or 7% voltage drop. All vintage tube equipment should be using this voltage reducer. Read on; After WWll and up until 1968, household voltages were 117 volts. Typically voltages these days range from 120-125. Your vintage audio equipment was designed to operate around lower voltages of years ago. You might ask yourself what is a few extra volts? Take into account that the power supply in your vintage device is multiplying those few extra volts many times so that the end result could be 20-30-40 volts more than the circuit was designed for. This could lead to transformer failure, component failure and shorter tube life. As you can see in the photo, the voltage reducer brought the line voltage down from 124 to 116. This is approximately a 7% drop. Simply plug your vintage electronics into the reducer outlet. Will work with equipment drawing up to a total of 4 amps. Has protective 4 amp fusing. Metal box is grounded through 3 wire power cord. Nice stainless cover.As an example; Photo shows voltage of Dynaco ST-70 at 467v on todays line voltage and then 438v plugged into the voltage reducer. The correct voltage for this Dynaco amp calls for 435v at this point. Also your filament voltage will be more in line with what it should be. All other voltages are much closer to Dynaco factory specifications with the reducer. You can plug this unit into a switched power strip so that it is not running continuously. Your device will run cooler and safer, extending component, transformer and tube life!The top outlet will give you a 3% drop and the bottom a 7% voltage drop. Do NOT recommend using both outlets at the same time.Strongly recommended for Dynaco St 70, since they were produced with power transformers designed to operate with 117 line voltage. Your transformer will run cooler, tubes will last longer and all voltages will be closer to where they should be!
