Vintage Dynaco A-430 Output Transformer Dynakit Mark II MK2 DC Tested
Thursday, November 5th, 2026
Vintage Dynaco A-430 Output Transformer – Dynakit Mark II. Original vintage Dynaco A-430 ultralinear output transformer, used in the Dynakit Mark II 50-watt monoblock tube amplifier. Primary impedance: 4,300 ohms center-tapped. Primary winding with ultralinear screen-grid taps. Secondary outputs: 8 and 16 ohms. Designed for push-pull tube amplifier applications. The transformer was tested using a digital multimeter. All primary and secondary winding connections showed continuity, and no unwanted continuity was detected between the windings or to the metal frame. Primary DC Resistance Measurements. Red to Blue: 66.4? Red to Blue/White: 79.5? Red to Green: 22.3? Red to Green/White: 26.6? Green to Blue: 44.1? Green/White to Blue/White: 52.9? Blue to Blue/White: 146? Secondary DC Resistance Measurements. Black to Orange: 0.4? Black to Yellow: 0.5? Orange to Yellow: 0.2? Primary to secondary: OL. Primary to metal frame: OL. Secondary to metal frame: OL. All readings are actual measurements taken from this transformer. These are DC resistance and continuity checks only. The transformer has not been tested in an operating amplifier or under full operating voltage. Good overall vintage condition with normal age-related paint scratches, finish wear, and minor surface oxidation. The original cloth-covered leads are present and show age-related discoloration and wear. Some lead ends have fraying. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition and components included. Condition: Used vintage component, DC resistance/continuity tested only. Full operating performance has not been verified.
