Since Plitron requires a minimum $250 order, I am looking for someone to go in on an order with me. I'm ordering approx $150 worth of transformers from them and only need to get over the $250 mark.
I live in Winnipeg, Canada, and would require anyone interested to also be in Canada. I guess the easiest way to do this (unless someone has a better idea) is to have the order shipped to me, and then I could ship the other transformers off to the other person.
Send me a PM/reply if you're interested?

I would be interested, how would we work out the shipping cost since it will be quite a bit to ship the transformers.

I did a series for AX on cleaning up AC line problems. The final version used a Plitron 20A isolation transformer. There were their transformers used in a number of the other circuits. They wrote a nasty letter to the editor about a picture of one of the circuits that used another manufacturer's transformer purchased as surplus RFE. They also misquoted text and withdrew their support for the magazine. Worse yet they showed an actual lack of engineering understanding of their products.
Since then I have not used any of their transformers. If you need recommendations on lower cost better performing products, just let me know what you need.

simon, your links go nowhere, i assume you have to be a subscriber? it starts to load and then defaults to the home/landing page
Go Antek
Forget Plitron and buy ANTEK!! MUCH cheaper and GOOD quality. Buy the "AS" versions. Go to antek.com

I have used Antek with success. Unfortunately the size (diameter) I am looking for-they do not have. I need a 4" max dia: 17-0-17 or 18-0-18, 120VA (or bigger VA) Plitron on the other hand lists one -

any other source that may have such?
I posted results on noise reduction techniques for power supplies here:

Note that the dual winding dual bridge technique requires that the current load is balanced. Also that I used a toroidal transformer as they pass more noise than EI cores. Split bobbin EI cores are better than when the secondary is wound on top of the primary.

Can you please stop doing this?
If I want to buy a plitron, then I will buy a plitron. If you don't like it, too bad!
It's like saying: i want an HTC smartphone, anyone else wants in on a group buy?
your answer: buy samsung...
I mean... wtf, no! i want a ******* plitron trafo and NOT an antek, so shove this antek somewhere where the sun doesn't shine!
If you have a problem with that, then just try... to stfu
its true the antek AS series are good, but what amounts to shilling in a GB thread is not cool at all. they may be good, but imo they dont really have anything on either Plitron, or sumR, which are at least on par for less money. but if the OP wants Plitron, the OP wants plitron and chances are its because he wants to be able to specify particular aspects of the transformer. perhaps center potted?
