#1 Transformers

Post by Unfold »

Could anyone point me in the right direction to have a transformer rewound?

The transformer in question is apparently an unusual design so ideally the original would have to be used in order to create a working version.

You may be able to tell i'm fairly new to this side of the audio world so any info would be greatly appreciated and as simply put as possible would probably be of benefit as well!

thanks =)

Danbury transformers might be able to help, perhaps Mike H can comment.

If it's for a "classic" amp they might like to clone it and add it to their range.

Can only do 'E' & 'I' laminations. New parts to nearest dimensions preferred or Danbury might rewind on same original laminations BUT will have to be new former with all the proper modern safety features.

EDIT: a possible problem then is if an available former size does not fit original core. Dave @ Danbury Elec would want you to post the original to him for examination and estimate.
