Title: The mother-load of affordable transformers...
Post by: darwindeathcat on June 03, 2008, 07:46:06 PM
Hi all, I just came across this page:
http://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=view&categoryid=1546 (http://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=view&categoryid=1546)

  As you will see they stock MANY very affordable transformers, of varying voltages and amps. Many of them are right for building chipamp dual-rail powersupplies with (right VA rating, and also center tapped). None are toroidal, however... I just thought I might pass on the news!

Hi Darwin. Nice transformers. Many are *very* strange, one wonders where were they pulled from. Maybe most (or all) are factory excedents. The 60V 5A CT one is excellent for a serious 2x100W amp. (+-42V supplies); the 80V 4A is good for a 200W/4 ohm PA or Bass amplifier.
