Please help me identify an OPT manufacturer

Post by markusw »

Just received a Twin OPT I ordered from TAD.
Assumed that I would get a Mojo/Heyboer with 4/8/16 sec but got a "125A29X Ruby-0309" with 4/8 secondary.
It looks similar to a Pacific TF125 I ordered about three years ago.

Any ideas what manufacturer that might be?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Peace,

Markus

Just found that the bill and the TAD website description of the OPT say "US made".

If its US made cant be Dagnall. Dont know why but the minute i looked at your transformer it instantly remind me of a Dagnall they used to make for plexis. After a little research it turned out i was completely wrong. O well...

Maybe some American members can help you out on this one. :wink:

Mine looks exactly the same.
I got my Twin OT from TAD too.
Sticker says

775
HTS-7223
996028

I thought it was a Heyboer but who cares. The 102 sound phenomenal!!!!

Hey Johan,

I remember you mentioned that you recently got a Heyboer Twin from TAD. You even were so kind to post a an image.

In fact this is the reason why I expected to get a Heyboer when I ordered at TAD.

The one I received doesn't have the sticker but the engraving says "Ruby-0309". The label on box says "09.2007".
Therefore, I believe it might be a leftover from the time before TAD changed alliances from Ruby to Mojo.

Sorry for being so anal about this :lol:

Peace,

Markus
