Yes, curva the same, but the engineer told me he would want to make a couple of optimisations to the locations of the windings and also correct the printing error on the label 🙂

buddha - uk
nullspace - usa
cobra2 - norway
andypairo - italy
curva - germany
whit - usa

Hi Guys,
Nice to meet everyone.
This looks like an excellent deal. I'd like to order one of these transformers.
Just let me know who, how and when to pay.
Cheers,
Grant.

Hi! Great. This takes us to at least 8, depending on whether Arne K wants more than 2.
I think I will ask Antrim to recalculate the price for 8 or 9.

Hi, yes they took a little while to come back to me as follows:
- identical to the previous run -
10+ £41.25
9+ £45.00
8+ £51.00
They can arrange individual shipment, too. I will need to speak to them about the best way to collate payment.
Personally, I would like to get it done before Christmas so maybe we should close out interest in 2 weeks time?
Can anyone interested please re-confirm by Friday Nov 18?

Hey Buddha --
What's the latest? It looks like we topped out at 7 confirmed. Does that leave us one short of the minimum 8?
Any others want to help a brother out by buying a transformer?

John

How much would this Antrim Transformer cost should you interest enough subscribers? Are we talking a custom Transformer with the eight secondaries necessary for Pedja's DAC?
Blast, I didn't read enough of the entries to see the quoted price. Yes, I'm interested at < £40. I'm intending to use Thorsten's Analogue Stage requiring secondaries of 6.3V/155mA (ECC88 heater) and 100V/12mA (CCS anode load) but I guess I can sneak in seperate Transformer from Maplin for that.

It seems that it will be slightly more (about 41£ if we get 10).
However, it seems that Buddha (who seemed to be willing to take the lead of this group buy) disappeared...
As someone suggested in the first pages of the thread there is a eventual alternative, a member here (Lupulroz) runs a romanian-based enterprise called "Rockna". I already bought some toroids from him and they were well done. Not to talk about the difference in price.... should I ask him a quote?
Cheers

Thanks for letting me know Andypairo. Yes, I should very much like a quote from your Romanian, please.
Re: An alternative offer......
This is the post I was referring to. I will email him and will ask if the conditions can be the same.

diyAudio user Lupulroz has kindly offered the following: 🙂
> Hello,
> if it's any help - I can do your transformer for 25 euro + shipping.
> I made a lot of custom requests for diy-ers from the forum.
> Orientative prices at http://www.rockna-line.com/toroids.htm
>For potted core & mounting kit included price is 30 euro / piece.
>Shipping to UK for 15 pcs. (approx. 30 kg package) is 140 euro.
Shipping to a single UK destination is the same price as would be for individual delivery from Antrim in the UK - so there will be additional postage to pay. I can see how much a 2kg parcel will be for the UK and EU. Don't forget to add VAT to all prices quoted in this thread - UK Customs will add it to any imports and it will be charged by any UK-based company.
Have a look at the Rockna site, have a think about the sums and let me know your thoughts.
Cheers
Jon
