Are these available in europe?

There is a european distributor listed on their website but I just emailed them last week & the shipping on a power & 2 small output transformers was only $35. You can pay with paypal...fingers x'd they turn up ok!

I make those boards, It is just some 1/8th in GP03 with eyelets. I get the board from McMasters Carr and eyeletts from mouser.

TubeHead Johnny I wanted to try Edcors for some time now, but I've heard that they are a tad bass shy compared to the Hammond units. Is there any truth in this?

I have used a lot of these as replacements in Fender's Black & Silverface Champs amplifiers. After installation, the first thing you notice is that you roll down the bass knob to at 1-2 instead of 6-8.
No lack of bass at all in fact it is a huge improvement in that particular amp. I am certain there are others also work well, but Edcor has great bang for the buck.

Of course YMMV.

Erm wait.....

Could u pay with $$$ from the european distributor in Belgium ???

The price from their official european sales office was a bit erm..high. Nearly the twicefold.

But german customs can really suck. They really ripped me off for these big Hammond Irons from AES.

UK customs is hit & miss...
The total cost of the 2 OPTs & a power tx with shipping was about £70...it's for my first build (Tubelab Simple SE) so I'm trying to keep the costs down as I'll probably screw it up! I tried the European distributor (in Belgium) but he was out of stock on the OPT's.

You need to contact Edcor and they'll ship fro EdcorEurope, so no customs taxes are added.
At least it's what I did for input transformers.

I have been in touch with Tony in Holland or Belgium (Belgium I thing), through whom I ordered my transformers last time.
I sort of makes things easier to order from him as I don't have to fuzz with VAT/Custam and other fees.
