I have these transformers on my 640. Not sure what my 650 has due to the fact I cleaned them and erased the part numbers. If you want, I'll test my 640 transformers. Not sure if this 640 worked as I bought it for parts though the chassis is clean & complete.

This set is a hot performer once working properly. I can listen to SW without an antenna on mine though not very well.
