Re: OT: Electronics suppliers

I presume they're still there, but there's a manufacturing company
making transformers at Kidsgrove, Staffs. (near where ICL is/was).

And I've also had good dealings with Oxford Electronic Products who make
pulse transformers (handy when you're a business, you just ring up the
supplier and discuss how they could modify their product :-)

I know that my nephew used to design transformers and have them made
for him there. (He wound a rf transformer himself for my hi-fi.)

I wanted something just a /little/ high spec (broadband 4KHz-800MHz at less
than 2.5dB insertion loss) :-) As it was for testing purposes, I was just
tempted to wind something myself, characterise it and tweak until it was
good enough. But Minicircuits saved me the hassle (source of very nice RF
components BTW, pleased to have found them even if I haven't solved the
how-do-I-buy-them problem yet apart from eBay).
