Transformer quote from Canterbury Windings - UK

I asked Terry @ Canterbury Windings (Canterbury Windings Home) for a quote for transformers and below you can the see the specifications. I have bought transformers from them several times and the quality and service is always good. I will try these out and report back. For > 10 pcs. the price would be 86GBP including VAT.
Do we know the price from Toroidy?
----------------------------------------------
Power rating: 540VA
Primary: 0-230V @ 50/60Hz
Electrostatic screen
Secondaries: 2 x 0-15V @ 18A rms, it is not possible to bifilar wind these, but each secondary will be wound with 4 windings & as these will be wound alternately they will have similar winding resistances (usually within 1-2%) & as the wire will be from a single reel, the secondaries will be probably better matched than a bifilar wound pair using two reels of wire
GOSS band around the circumference
Regulation: approx 5% (around 15.92V off load)
Estimated dimensions: 140mm diameter x 76mm high away from leadouts
Mounting: standard mounting kit (adds approx 4.5mm to the height)
Leadouts: approx 200mm long flexible (stranded)
Audio grade construction

Horio, how come you don't want to match these one as well ? Just joking. Fukushima resistors on their way

D.

You want me to? (joking) Whats another few hundred resistors. We are already matching 2000!

Thanks, NicMac.
There was already a vote for Canterbury Windings in post #175 of the main thread.

CeeVee wanted to ask for a quote from Toroidy.

How much does Canterbury Windings charge for shipping?

 

[EUVL]

> Whats another few hundred resistors.

Are you sure there will be a few hundreds only ?

One set is (2 channel F5X + regulator) is about 50 resistors.
So we are already at 1000 resistors after a day.

Careful what you promise. I learned my lessons.

27 GBP + VAT for 2 pcs. of the above cited TX, UK -> Italy
Cheers,

Please kindly redo list under 3 continents for ease of distribution later.

Tentative participant list for PRP resistors:

We should think about whether the regional distributors of the Fukushima resistors might also distribute the PRP resistors and all the other parts acquired in other group buys (power switch, Schurter or PowerCons, ....) in a single package.

I am in charge for distribution of the Fukus in Europe and willing to extend my duties. What's the attitude of the other two distributors?

 

[EUVL]

I think you need a volunteer (preferably in the US) to match the PRPs first before distributing.

Matching in US is preferred because it does not make sense to send them to Europe, pay tax, match, and send back to the US amongst others.

Don't underestimate the quantities. I never thought we would be matching 2000 Fukushima's. But we are !!


Patrick

 

[Horio]

If someone else is willing to match and seperate the PRP resistors, I'd be willing to mail them out with the Fukushima resistors for North America. I could even just give them to flg (he's just across the bay from me) since he is doing the distributing the cases for NA.

 

[heinz1]

>I think you need a volunteer (preferably in the US) to match the PRPs first before distributing.

Alright, that's true too!

I misinterpreted your post in which you first mentioned the PRPs and the three continents: I thought, a minor intention of it was to apply slight pressure on the Fuku distributors to extend their tasks.

 

[EUVL]

> I thought, a minor intention of it was to apply slight pressure on the Fuku distributors to extend their tasks.

Not at all.
I think the three have done their part, and others should also contribute.

Notes: This is a tentative list of members interested in a GB for PRP resistors for a EUVL F5X build (1 set = 1 complete F5X build (dual mono amps + PS)). The GB is run by NicMac, but was suggested by EUVL and kindly made possible by Fitzfish (see post #23). I will post more exact information on composition of a "set" (number and values), pricing and means of distribution/delivery when I have this information.

That will be me, not flg But hell, when the nomination comes, why not

 

[EUVL]

I thought it was Fred also, and then thought I must be getting old and useless ...

So do I understand that Fred is offering to distribute PRP for NA ?

Maybe Horio and flg could do the matching again ?
(This is high ohm stuff, so a cheap LCR meter would be sufficient.)


Patrick

 

[Horio]

Oh man, I must be getting old. By flg, I meant Fred... flg would be a significantly longer drive for me. =P

It might be good to have someone else do the matching for the PRP stuff. If no one else wants to step up, then perhaps I could be persuaded.
