Fender Transformers

I have a shelf of old Fender transformers. Some are from the Fender/Panasonic collaboration many years ago (they made power amps and larger scale mixing consoles). Some are older transformers for tube amps. Small ones are probably for reverb tanks? Most of these are NOS (new old stock).

I'm moving and these need to go, hopefully to a good home. Contact me if you're interested in any of this.

You sound like the kind of person I was looking for. Unfortunately, I took most of these to the scrap yard. I saved about 6 or 7 transformers because I still have this thought that I might build an amp myself eventually. I'll try to get the numbers off of those when I'm settled in the new shop.

btw, I was hoping to find someone who would pay shipping for the whole lot of them and they could take the time to figure them out. Back at the shop I worked at, we had at least a dozen Fender parts books and access to some of the older folks at Fender (back in the 90s and early 2000s) and could not identify these. I posted pics on some other forums and even started to weigh them all 6 or 7 years ago but never found the right person.
 
Wow. That's amazing... and a bummer... but also I chose to follow the flow, so whatever happens is best. Mostly it would have been fun to see what's what and learn... Look forward to hearing about the few that are left! Thanks.

Oh, and everyone would have fun building any amp from scratch....maybe this is that push? Haha. But I'm 10 guitar amps deep at this point... and double that in HiFi land....it's fantastic.
