Title: Valve Mains Transformer Suppliers U.K?
Post by: vikki on January 24, 2007, 12:54:40 PM
I'm looking for a 250_ 0_ 250 at about 100ma and a heater winding 6.3 volts about 2 amps possibly centre tapped with a 240volt primary. Anyone know a U.K supplier of transformers like this, i think Hammond do one but its near on 50 quid so was hoping to find one or two a bit cheaper.
Regards

I know I shouldn't jump in when I'm not exactly sure - but what about this?
It's in Germany, and 230V, but only 22 Euros:

Try a UK google search for 'valve transformers' and quite a few links pop up...

vikki,

try over at www.ampmaker.com.
Barry, who runs it, is a regular over at the 18watt forum, and is a great guy to deal with.

Just having a quick look, i found this trannie, but he has a couple of others too.

3A from the heater windings and up to 275V from the secondarys at 160mA.

Not sure if it is centre tapped, but give him a shout about it.

This transformer is for the 36watt, 4xEL84 builds, has a centre tap, 275v/200mA secondary,
Rectifier winding and 6A heater current.

Hope that is of some help.

Jamesy
