Here are a few pics of my 103 , I know that the power transformer is not origonal and it needs a cap job and new valves , but is there anything else in there that may need attention .... I ask thee oh experts!
What do you think this transformer might be?
Partridge output trans
caps are bulging and dated 1971

the power transformer is a Partridge, but I can't say with any certainty what brand of amp it came from.
It looks pretty nice, besides the PT.
Congrats!

The fact that whoever installed it needed to rotate and drill new mounting holes suggests it was intended for a more powerful amplifier. The good news is, it's still a Partridge.
Get those caps replaced and let us know how it sounds!

Thanks guys.
I thought that it may be a partridge p/t but not being au fait with Hiwatts .... that p/t has been in there at least 25 years as my friend from whom I bought it had it from the mid eighties, it's probably been there since the 70's early 80's and why it was replaced, who knows?
Glad you guys think it's good , I value your opinions.
