Can you advise me? I'm planning to build a replica of ES-100, but I can't find a complete wiring diagram and information about transformers. There is some information in a book, but I'm looking for something like what's in this link. Thank you.

If anyone has photos of your construction or the remaining 6-micron film, I would be interested in purchasing them. PS: Please don't message me about the Facebook page, as I'm already aware of it, but it's not an efficient platform for finding what I need. The forum is more suitable for this purpose.

Hi
The ES50 is very similar to the ES100. The major difference being the size of the panel. . If I remember correctly the resistor to the stator is of a bit lower value but you need to adjust anyway if your spacing is different. The rest is the same.
Audiotransformers are 1:75 each so 1:150 total.
I build a similar one with 1:100 total which works fine as well.

Thank you for your response. The quality of the output transformers is important to me, so I wanted to purchase them from esl-club@dds.nl as indicated in the instructions on the website https://www.mrmodelrailroad.com/index.php/hoofdpagina/bouw-electrostaten. However, nobody replied to me when I contacted them. Therefore, I searched and found out that the original transformers are from Amplino, specifically the Amplino ST 150. However, when I contacted amplino official, they told me that they don't want to deal with it. So, I wanted to at least find out the specifications required by another manufacturer, such as the winding, impedance, and wire diameter. Unfortunately, I don't have that information to provide.

The amplimo transformers have been used by DIY. The transformers in audiostatic do not look like the amplimo's neither do they have the large bandwith of the amplimo's. I assume they are from a different manufacture. I do not have any specific details regarding the original audiostatic transformers. Maybe someone else does. Fortunately the segmented audiostatic should be a relatively easy load so you may have your luck with a lot of different brands.
At the website of Menno vd Veen, the designer of those amplimo's, a 1:75 transformer is listed. You may check it out. Not cheap but, as I have experienced myself, the quality is high.

Thank you for your help. It's encouraging for me that someone is discussing this with me. The type and data I mentioned are from a book. I already wrote to Menno van der Veen yesterday, and yes, they have toroidal transformers with a ratio of 1:75, but they are incredibly expensive, nothing to blame. A friend promised that if I'm patient, he will wind a test transformer for me after the summer holidays for approximately 60 euros each. Which is an acceptable price. He has already wound something for me in tube amplifiers, so I know he does quality work. They will be traditional transformers, which are more suitable. It's essentially an output transformer like the one in a tube amplifier, but wired in reverse... in layman's terms. In any case, thank you for your help and willingness to assist. Regards, M
https://nvhrbiblio.nl/biblio/boek/Fikier - Elektrostatische luidsprekers.pdf (in the ES-175 construction, there are also graphs of amplimo and tests.. I think that in the ES-100, there were two transformers in a row, probably 2x 1:75 or 1:50.
Indeed, the ST150 is out of production. Presently we have two types (ratio 1:50 and 1:75, see the links below).
