I looked again (third time now) just to make sure of the number. It is
actually a 167Q...a little tiny tail on the Q, the *******s. Sorry for so
much trouble...gonna have to get quad-focals as these tri-focals obviously
not up to Hammond standard :-)

From your first post, I thought "167" is what a lot of their power
transformers started with. The catalog I have from about 1972 doesn't
even list any "1670's".

You'll be disappointed though.

I see no straight 167Q.

But, there is a 167Q5, which is 5v at 6amps. There is a 167Q6, which
is 6.3v at 6amps. There is a 167Q12, 12.6v at 13.6 amps. And there is a
167Q14, which is 14v at 6amps.

Obviously the "Q" must denote 6amps, at the number following the "Q" is
the voltage.

It's no wonder the number seemed familiar. I have some in the basement.
The large secondary windings are the giveaway.
