Saw this on eBay. Would these Altec 15095A transformers be ok?

Lundahl MC transformers are quite good, I have used a number of them, but you need to provide information on the cartridge you will be using with them.
I am partial to the LL1931 and LL1941 and use 1941s with my SPU A95.

Look at the MC Input transformer section. Kevin Carter is knowledgeable and helpful - a good and willing source of advice.

I've used both Sowter and Cinemag -- too bad the last of the Cinemags for this project are gone.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll contact K & K as suggested. My main cartridge for the past 10 years is a Shelter 901 II MC. I also have an SL 20 E and a Clearaudio Stradivari arriving before Christmas. I don't see any suggestions for vintage transformers. Should they be avoided?
There are vintage types like the UTC HA-100X which are very good, but hideously expensive. I prefer the LL1941 to the 100X.
I have also had Partridge 977 and 973 which while nice were more than a bit euphonic.
The Cinemag 3440A may be a good match to the Shelter cartridge you have. I had a pair, but ended up preferring others.
I've also been down the solid state head amp path which did not work out for me.
I have omitted several other transformers because I no longer remember what they were.. LOL
