Check out Blueglow Electronics, he purchased Gary's business. I don't think he is currently up and running. 73 Lou W9LRS Title: Re: TRS Post by: Jim, W5JO on July 11, 2019, 08:31:51 PM Jim: Check out Blueglow Electronics, he purchased Gary's business.

Regards, Gary Title: Re: TRS Post by: Todd, KA1KAQ on July 12, 2019, 03:48:36 PM Another resource to keep in mind is Electronic Products Design aka EPD in (IIRC) Wendall, NC. Peter and his daughter Michelle run this place, primarily designing and building new transformers but he can and does do rewinding, too. He checked a modulation transformer for me a few years back and discovered it was only an uninsulated lead arcing to the case.
Peter is at a lot of the shows like FrostFest, Raleigh, and others. Usually has a big, wide-brimmed hat on. Big transformers, windings, and other products displayed on their tables. Title: Re: TRS Post by: KD6VXI on July 12, 2019, 05:53:04 PM I'll second Peter.
He has would some monsters for me and friends. For west coast people there are a few xformer people in the Los Angeles area as well. --Shane KD6VXI Title: Re: TRS Post by: Lou W9LRS on July 12, 2019, 06:41:11 PM Sorry to hear about the heart attack. Thankfully they found an issue with me and corrected it before a chest grab.
Another source for custom built transformers is Heyboyer in Michigan. Arlyn doesn't rewind but will build a new one to your specs. He is very reasonable. Thanks for the info on EPD , i'll put them in the Roladex...HIHI 73 Lou Title: Re: TRS Post by: Todd, KA1KAQ on July 13, 2019, 09:38:38 AM I do hope the new owner of Gary's former business recovers well and gets things up an running. Gary did a couple jobs for me over the years and always did a good job.
We are part of an ever-shrinking group of folks who still have a need for big iron. Getting the word out and supporting the few businesses who still support our interest.

I live in the middle of the country and shipping is about the same either way. |
