Philharmonic 15" Pedestal Speaker Output Transformer
Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here. Currently restoring a Philharmonic with the 15 Magnavox pedestal speaker. Unfortunately, the output transformer in my speaker is shorted.
I am looking for find a suitable replacement transformer. Before I scour the internet for an option, I was curious if anyone else had recently replaced one of these and what part that you used? Open to recommendations!

Thats great. They came through for me on the power transformer. It did take about 3 months. I was able to pick it up in October on our way to Muskegon.

Update to this thread. My new output transformer arrived just before the holidays and I finally got it installed this week. Below is a short video of the first test:

Still quite a few minor bugs to work out of my Philly, but I am very impressed with the sound.

Sounds great. For my Allwave 23, any more than a quarter volume is way too loud. I may not have mentioned that I have 2 versions of the 23. The one that is complete with cabinet is in our dining room and used a few hours a day. The 2nd is a later version with the new twin antenna posts, but still 5 knobs. No cabinet, and i was able to source a power supply thru this list. I did a total rebuild and this is the one that has a new output transformer. I made up the needed resistor network that would have been in the missing speaker.
