mark V little transformer. What is it?

[purpledc]

There is what looks like a smaller transformer on the mark V on the left hand side when viewing from the back. What is that? I have not seen many amps with this. Normally I see a output tranny and a power transformer.

If you see a little transformer that isn't the PT or the OT, it's either a choke, or the reverb transformer.

It's prob the reverb transformer, the choke could be inside the chassis.

Ok theres actually two of them and one was hidden behind another bigger tranny. So I guess the amp has a reverb tranny and a choke. Interesting. Never had an amp with either.

You probably have, actually - many amps have choke coils, but they're often inside the chassis. And any amp with tube-driven reverb has a transformer for it, but again, since they're small, they're often inside.
