Anyone here familiar with Antek power transformers? These look like a
lot
of bang for the buck. What's the
catch?http://www.toroid-transformer.com/
I'm just blanching at the thought of actually buying new iron.
Opinions
would be nice to have.

I'm thinking about the AN-1T250, two HT windings wired in series, it's
250-0-250 and more mA than I'd ever need for my project. It has plenty
of
juice on the 6.3v winding, and I think I can use the 12.6v winding for
the
bias supply. It says $33 shipped. It looks too good to be true.

(See my other threads...the project is a fixed bias Vibrochamp with
6AQ5
output tube.)

I've emailed them to ask if they will sell one unit. Haven't heard
back
yet.

It's fine if you don't mind using a strange, circular transformer with
no metal cover. You can always paint it to look like a doughnut.

Also, you shouldn't mind drilling just one mounting hole (use a
locknut, OK?).


Oh yes...I realized that when I saw the picture! The thing I dislike most
is the thought of making a rectangle for the drop through type. If you
recall my JTM45, I've got a pair of that style mounted on stilts, to avoid
making the cuts and also I needed the room on the inside of the chassis for
"stuff". Thanks for mentioning the locking nut. I'll see what comes with
it. Nuts are cheap.
