Title: Good source for transformers

Just came across this company which appears to be an excellent source of transformers (power / isolation / 1:1) chokes and transformer components for those who would like to roll their own! Been looking for some 600 ohm 1:1 and it looks like they have what I need for ~ $10.00 ea.

Looks like nice stuff at a reasonable price.

I don't see any test voltages on any of the transformers. It'd be nice to know if you could use a bridge instead of full wave/center tap.

Usually on those type of xfmrs you do not see Test Voltages.  RMS Test Voltages are usually seen on chokes.  I looked at the xfmrs and you could probably use a FWB without any problems.  Highest voltage xfmr they have is 900v ct.  Almost any amount of insulation should be able to handle 900 volts with 450 volts on the CT.

Wow, I've been driving by that place for years and didn't know they made transformers 'n stuff. Thanks for the tip, i can pick up without shipping charges!
