Great Trannie!

"I have purchased about 8 of these transformers in a 4 year period. I've used them in various DC filament tube amp power supplies and not one of them has let me down. My only complaint is the leads should be AT LEAST 3" longer. I would recommend not to run them over a 1 A load. (They can get quite hot)...." Read Full Review »

Still would 760mA x 2 still does no..." Read Full Review »

"This is the least expensive transformer with these specs available from any of my part suppliers. Not to mention it is enclosed where the others were not. Transformer runs quietly when used with full wave rectification, which means the center tap is well centered. I've used it close to it's rated 2A …"  Read Full Review »

"Used this in a couple of audio/radio projects. Works pretty well, though I find that the output voltage swings a lot with load, and it heats up when it's loaded past an amp or so.
