Anybody know of a source for flat/laydown style output transformers?

Post by fuzzjunkie »

I've been pondering a rack mount power build and am looking for a source for the flat, side by side, spring roll looking output transformers. I think I have seen them as early as the old Peavey Classic 50/50's but now I see SUPER-low profile ones in the Fryette LXII. I tried to Google all the part numbers on the stickers, but didn't have any luck. There's even a little sunrise-looking logo on the bottom. Thanks for any leads. I'm not looking for the exact Fryette parts, just any supplier that makes that style.

Why don’t you go with a full toroidal and not a semi?

I don’t know what you have in mind for output tubes, note that some can not be mounted horizontally and the ones that can need to be clocked a certain way.

I see a lot of power toroidal transformers out there and in use. I haven't seen many on the output side. I found Antek after a google search. Are there any other power and/or output toroidal brands out there?

Oh, and thanks for the word semi-toroidal. I didn't even know that's what they are sometimes called. That led me to find out they are called C and U channel.

Thanks
