I realize it's a long shot, but does anyone have:
- Any spare T-2052s (or know of a source)
- Any idea what the T-2052 *was* so I can try to replace them. I haven't
found much detail as of yet.
Good news on this front!
I had previously obtained a data sheet for the T2037, a similar transformer.
I extracted 4 each T2037 and T2052 from a broken G228, and today I was
able to get measurements off of them:
T2037:
A: 230uH, 170 mohm primary, 42.9uH 100 mohm secondary
B: 220/170, 41.6/100
C: 232/170, 43.8/60
D: 231/170, 43/80
These are consistent with 16 turns and 7 turns of #33 wire, wound on
an FT37-77 toroid per the instructions on the data sheet, and also with
the 220 uH /43 uH 20% specs that appear there.
Here are the T2052 measurements:
A: 597/320, 597/320
B: 530/270, 530/270
C: 34/1040, 24/680
D: 551/280, 551/280
Ignoring "C", which is quite likely broken in some way, these are
consistent with a 25 turn 1:1 transformer. I'm not sure what they
are wound with, as #33 wire should give a lower DC resistance.
(#34 is closer. It's also possible that they changed cores, but I
suspect that they are also wound on FT37-77 cores.)
It's possible that a fairly standard modern 1:1 pulse transformer
could be substituted. The 78615/2JC, for instance is 500uH, 1:1
if you ignore the center tap pins.
