Unhappy Vertical output trans for Zenith?

The zenith ate its VOT a short while ago.
Now I'd like to know where to get a new one?

OR

What I can use as a replacement?

Not sure where to find them, just make sure you find and fix the root cause, before you put in a replacement. Driving a deflection yoke cant be too different from driving a speaker,wonder if an audio trans might work? Usualy Most transformer companies would make most common replacements, usually a given part can be cross-referenced to other sources, even if you cant find an identical part. My Setchell carlson TV service info lists replacements from more than one company.

What is the chassis #? Need that to find one...

Tranny number should begin with a "95"-" number.

Update.
I've talked to every electronics store in my area and NONE of them have a transformer like this. I also havent been able to pin point the ratio of this trans. Is it 1:15 1:10 Why are there 3 wires? not 4

Have you contacted Moyer Electronics yet? http://www.moyerelectronics.com/

You have to write them with your make and model and they will let you know if they have one in a couple days. It's helpful if you know the aftermarket part numbers as well, Triad, Sencore, Thordarson, those are usually listed in the Sams schematic parts section though they can probably cross reference them for you.

Most vertical transformers seem to be 10:1 or 12:1 or at least in that neighborhood.

Not sure why there are three wires without seeing the schematic, possibly the case is the fourth?

Do you have the Sams for the set? It's a 525-2.

There are 3 wires because it is an autotransformer type. The Merit sub for 95-1656 is A-2821. 6:1 ratio. Thordarson sub is 26S30.

Playthings of the past lists the 26S30 as being in stock. http://www.oldradioparts.com/2a23ffl.txt

I bought a VOT from Moyers for that set and never ended up installing it, didn't need it at the time. I've mentioned this in at least two threads about the set. They sent me a Merit A-4090, replacement for Zenith 95-1593. Three wire.

Turns ratio - 8:1
Primary impedance 10K ohm
DC Resistance:

Primary - 382 ohm
Secondary - 6 ohm

If you're interested in it, send me a PM.
