View Full Version : Lumley ST70 Output impedance change

Was wondering if any might have any ideas on this issue?
I just got inside my Lumley ST70 and am looking at the output transformers. I want to change the output impedance setting to 4 ohms (its now set on 8 ohms).

There are four connections coming off each output transformer. One is labelled "8", one "4", another "4" and another "C". The two labelled "4" have a jumper connecting them . Currently the one labelled "8" is connected to the speaker +ve terminal, and the one labelled "C" is connected to the speaker -ve terminal.
I am not sure what to do, - obviously I need to disconnect the 8 and likely put that on the tap labelled "4" next to it, but do I leave the other connect labelled "C" as it is? And what do I do with the jumper - connect it between the other 4 and the 8? Perhaps I don't need the jumper I'm not sure. If anyone had any ideas it would be much appreciated. Attached is a pic of one of the output transformers.

I'd guess that the two 4 ohm windings are connected in series via the connecting wire (to give the 8 ohm output), so I'd say remove the jumper and connect to the "4" terminal next to the "c". Leave the "c" where it is. Just a guess though, I don't know for sure.
