@ Zeit,

Those windings are most likely to be copper given the age of the transformer.

The age is what?

Think I have somewhere an aluminum coil transformer lying around myself, looks like decades old, as I remember.

Hmm they used Aloy a lot in the 60s and 70s but found it's joints a problem and after a few fires and court claims most of them stopped using it, it's difficult to solder as it oxidises in a 10th of a second.
To solder it dip the wire in a liquids sort of grease so that as you clean it the grease instantly covers the wire over then solder it with ordinary tin-lead solder but be quick before the grease / oil evaporates

Hi all

Hi T1000
I have some problems on finding a good rectifier output bridge. I need some economic and quick diodes at 1000V @10A minimum specs. My old bridge consist of 4X RURG3060 was blown. Accidentally i disconnected my loads while running and output voltage was raised over 600V which is the maximum for these diodes. Any idea?

If its pre the 1970's which it looks like it could be, then its unlikely as ali only started to be used in transformers from the mid 60's.
