New guy here. Trying to replace a dead power transformer in this SS Fender amp (Sidekick 35 Reverb). The Sidekick series appears to have been built for a few years starting in the early '80s. Fender says that no parts list is available but they did email a schematic. Problem is that the schematic doesn't show the transformer secondary AC voltage or the DC voltage at the output of the bridge & caps. The only identification on the dead transformer is "TCE66 086" and "30UC". I could not find anything by searching on various combinations of this information. I've Googled and Bing-ed and read forums and applied due diligence in my research to get this sorted.
I found a schematic for a Fender Sidekick 35W Bass from the same amp series that indicates +/-31VDC at the DC test points after the rectifier "box". I'm assuming that the box is a full-wave bridge rectifier and I've backed up from the 31 volts using the 1.414 factor. That works out to about 22VAC input to the bridge. 48VCT (24-0-24) at 2A transformers seem to be more common but that would be nearly 34VDC after the bridge. Is that too high?
Does this sound like a reasonable way to try and get this thing going again? Is the 31V guess based on the 35B a sound way to proceed? Schematics from the 35R and 35B are attached. Comments are welcome.
Thanks for your time,
