Does anyone know of a N. American company that would take my working transformer from a dead circuit and duplicate the transformer for me? The transformer is an integral part of a home brew photo strobe circuit that has long past, we are trying to duplicate the circuit with modern techniques and components but the transformer is a stumbling block.
I don't have the time or inclination to do the work to specify a custom transformer, this is why I am looking for someone else to do the testing a fabrication of new transformers for us.
Thanks
Don
Incidentially I contacted Plitron on a number of occassions and to date have not had any reply. |

If I'm correct, Jack Elliano of Electra-Print fame winds custom transformers.
I don't know about your specific tranny, but it might be worth it to give him a call or send him an email.
Good luck.

Thanks.
I have sent off an email and I hope for a favorable response.

What are their prices like?
@ Frazzled - what spec's do you need? I might know someone who can do it for you least expensive :) |

Hi Geek,
you ask for a custom winding house that can offer a reverse engineering service.
And then ask about the price.:xeye: |

| Yes this kind of service is NOT for the faint of heart that's for sure!;) |

Actually,
This type of request is fairly common. Be prepared to pay for an hour or so of engineering... depending on blah, blah , blah.

| Why not just buy a new trigger transformer and design the circuit around that? It will probably be about 50c rather than $50 or more. |

My question had nothing to do with reverse engineering. I'm quite capable of doing that ;)
Just if anyone has dealt with them, how are they compared to say... Hammond. |

The transformer is part of the PWM circuit not the flash tube circuit. |
