It is HARD to find cheap transformers in Europe no doubt.
But just found this
Speaker transformers for vacuum-tube amplifiers, TGL series, TGL5/001, TGL5/002, TGL15/001, TGL20/001, TGL20/002, TGL20/003, TGL35/001, TGL35/002, TGL35/003, TGL40/001, TGL60/001, TGL60/002, TGL60/003, TGL80/001
This TME thing is spreaded in most of EU's countrys.

The producer is from Poland.
Katalog A for more info

The prices are amazing and they also have power transformers 🙂

Who said Europe is expensive? I can get tubes for 4E, transformers for for 15E....etc

I hope it's a typo on the website ... Primary Impedance in Ohms??? Kilohms surely ...

doesn't inspire confidence!

Have you purchased any?

I don't know if Indel will sell to you direct but you can get them from HERE. If you use Google translate it is easy enough to understand.

I have recently bought a pair of THESE for a RH84 SE amp. I have not been able to compare them to others but I think they are excellent, they certainly are for the money. Communicating in English was no problem at all.

Nope. Just found it a few hours ago. TME it's a good electronic comonent dealer anyway. I think the transformers have a very good value for the price(made in poland). Also you don't have to pay for the brand...wich is good. I'm gonna give them a try soon.

@Peterr . I sugest TME as they as sell more than just parts for tube amps....so the price is lower i think. Also they have more locations -> smaller shippment taxex. Anyway thank you for your input !

Peter, that's very encouraging, especially since you apparently managed to get those shipped to The Netherlands, which is relevant to me 😉 If you don't mind my asking, what did you pay for shipping & handling? I was pointed to a UK-based firm by a board member a couple of days ago, but the S&H was relatively steep.

Let's take the smallest one(the one that i need for my project)
Power: 5w
Impedance: 5.2k primary
8ohms secondary
The given transformation ratio Usecondary/Uprimary
I like the chopper band. They really seem to have an excellent Q/P ratio

I don't like the copper band. It would definitely have its place in a power transformer (to short out/cancel fringe flux), but I can''t see a valid use for it in an SE transformer, as the last thing I'd want to do in that application is to short out fringing flux from the gap.
