They've arrived!!
Good for you, you lucky !@%&
The rest of us are pining away, waiting for our love-package!
You MUST have connections in the postal service -- c'mon, cough it up
I received my TX's yesterday! Boy, am I excited!
A big thanks to everyone who mad the GB possible, and here's a quickie question regarding the transformers.
These are the TX-102 Mk III, right?
Is this the same thing as the TX-103 that I've seen referred to in some of the online documentation?
Also, both of my transformers have a very shallow dent on top near the edge. They're both the same size, about 1cm wide by 2 cm long. As they're both the same size and about in the same location, I'm assuming this is artifact of the manufacturing process. Nothing to worry about, right? Anyone else notice these on their transformers?
OK, good stuff! I won't get around to building mine for some time, but I can't wait to hear some comparisons between the TXs and what everyone was using before.
Best,
KT

Hi KT,
These are MK3 cans. The 103 is a different product. Here is the link to the product on the Stevens and Billington site:
http://www.stevens-billington.co.uk/page103.htm
My cans are stashed away at the moment so I can't get hold of them for comparison - however, I am sure that any manufacturing artifacts would not in any way degrade the sound.

Hi,
I just got my transformers today from Brian and pass along my thanks to the folks who made this possible.
I also now understand KT's question. My transformers came with an invoice from Brian listing them as TX-102 MK II transformers. I assume that this is just an error in the paper work and not an indication of us getting the leftovers.
Thanks,
---Gary

Dents in transformer's housing are normal thing, some got more some less, but nothing to worry about.
Konnichiwa,
There are no external charateristics.
The MK1 is sufficiently rare that you probably do not have one. If the Transformers where produced before Mid 2004 they are generically MK2, which minor revision is very hard to say. If they where made after Mid 2004 they should be Mk3.
f you can measure the frequency response you might be able to distinguish them the ultrasonic behaviour differs somewhat.

Stevens and Billington line matching transformers
Saw this post re group purchase - we have, in a shed load of audio equipment, acquired a few Stevens and Billington 'line matching transformers' - 4 x JB.807 ESS, 3 x JB.825 and 3 x JB 743.
All are new and unused.
Could anyone let me know what they are worth?

I haven't a clue about those, sorry. Had a quick squint on the S&B website, but you'd be better off contacting them for pricing info.

I'll give you a tenner for the lot!
Good luck!
