Pair of ESL trannys on Ebay

CharlieM · 17th February 2010, 11:49 AM

If anyone needs any 100:1 ESL transformers, I just listed a pair on Ebay.
There is nothing wrong with them; it's just that 100:1 trannies were not
the best choice for my speakers, as my speakers use large panels with very
close d/s spacing and only 40% open stators = too-high capacitance to get
good treble with 100:1 step-up. *I've changed my setup to a 68:1 tandem
toroids, which cost me some efficiency but I gained the brighter treble I
was looking for. *Anyway, check out my listing on Ebay if you need some
high-ratio trannys... the starting bid price is 1/4 of what I paid for
them.

Someone already put up a minimum bid ($50) so I guess they will go for that if no one bids more. Just trying to recoup some of my investiment. They are pretty beefy trannys and I think they would be great for bass in segmented panel or a full ranger with larger d/s spacing/lower capacitance that what I'm using.

a couple of years ago i was going to get some, since they were the only ones i could find here in the states for a reasonable price,jer

Charlie, I will bring the mone i owe you on Sunday, just need and let me know. while here, do they sell MDF there? if not, please let me know, do not want to come there empty handed, preparation is in order.

Jerry helped me fix my preamp, over the phone. that was a problem that has bugged me for over ten years, he answered it in a few minutes, just wanted to show what happens away from the site and how helpful everyone is.
maybe should have posted that elswere, but it needs to be noted, Charlie and Jer have the most knowledge and information I have ever encountered, anywhere, period

No problem.

Charlie,

perhaps I'll bid on them. I need to sleep on it. Can you give a ballpark $ figure for shipping to 9160, Belgium?

Thanks
Kenneth
