WTB: Cinemag 2251-1 Inductors for Pete Millett LR Phono

[hirscwi]

Greetings,

I know it's a long shot but I would like to buy 4 Cinemag 2251-1 inductors. I will use these in a Pete Millet LR Phono preamp. I can order these from Cinemag but the lead time is long (last I ordered from them was about 5 months). So I thought I'd check to see if anyone might have a set they could part with.

Thank you.

Hi!
I just ordered these a few days ago from CineMag (for an LRP as well).
I did not get an explicit estimate, but I'm under the impression that lead time should be just a few weeks (and not months)

My wait for a single mic preamp transformer (In 2011) was over five months and that was after an email that I was going to get a refund. In his defense David was polite and delivered the goods but the wait is not uncommon.

I will give them a call. Sounds encouraging.

I ordered some. They have been closed for 2 months so they are back-logged.

Also, for what it's worth, Cinemag is an industrial company, not a retail company. They are nice enough to sell to DIY folks even though small orders are a major pain. It is somewhat costly to set up and break down for a run of transformers/inductors and small orders are not profitable. I am not affiliated with the company in any way but thought it would be good for folks to know the situation.

To close the loop. I received the Cinemags less than 2 weeks after I ordered them! Now I just need to get in gear and build the phono section.

This might be a good time to order a set if you need them - perhaps he made a big run.
