FS: Sowter 15W P-P output transformers for EL84, Baby Huey

I ordered these last year but am changing direction with some of my projects so putting them up for sale.

These are Sowter push-pull transformers, size I.
"15W at 30 Hz. The LF response will still be -3 dB at 20 Hz or better."

Primary is 8k
Secondary is standard Sowter with 4 individual taps that can be winded as 4, 8 or 16 ohms.
Screens are tapped at 25%, perfect for a UL EL84 amp such as the Baby Huey.

One transformer is still wrapped. The primary wires were cut on the second, but there is still 9 inches left so more than enough for any chassis configuration.

These would cost around $680 if purchased today, and would take 4-6 months to arrive.

I am asking $640, including shipping and fees.
Price is relatively firm as these are hard to get and I'd rather keep for a future project than lose a ton of money on them.

I waited 6 months for the transformers. If you are okay with waiting 6 months and paying an additional $40, that is your decision (given exchange rates and increased shipping cost the difference will likely be higher).

The wires from the factory are over 3 feet, way overkill for any build. The wire was cut at the standard length you would get for any Edcor or Hammond transformer, so satisfactory for just about any purpose.

Either way, feedback like this is customary via DM.
