i have about 3kgs of copper wire that i took out from your japanese iso traffo,
if you want, i can give them back to you as i do not have any use for those at this time...
Okay if you don't need them just give those to me and i will use them later on sir.
One thing about those aluminum is they can't be soldered so twisting or crimping is needed. I found another toroid power trafo with oxidized connection causing loose contact.
hi sir i have here a 2"CL stack to 3.25" and i am planing to utilize the available materials as of the moment a kilo of #16, 1.2 kg of #14 and 3kg of #18 can i use #14 and #18 copper for secondary to be wound separately but same voltage then have it paralleled. the result that i wanted to have was #16 for primary 1150VA and (55-0-55 8A + 55-0-55 3A) that is 55-0-55 11A? will this be advisable?
thank you very much

not a good idea....two strands of #18 is equivalent to a #15 single wire...although #12 could have been accommodated as well...
i built a traffo in the 80's using the same core are yours, i used #16 primary and #13 secondary....

noted....will text you when i go to Dau...
thank you so much for the reply
i suppose to reply yesterday but unfortunately heavy rain caused us brownout till midnight
i got 1.1kg from my classmate for free.
now i will try some comment from others on last traffo i built suggesting only 1:1.5 core ratio. then 2"CL x 3" and use #17 for primary and #14 secondary 900VA @1.5 t/v for my SR200 stereo.
thanks

sir tony here's my last built trafo after asked some ideas to you,
i used 1mm pcb's as bobbin accdg to the supplier its fibre made.
also mylar in separating pri and secondary
thanks

I just finish repairing a 502 trafo. Found out that aluminyo contacts must be properly twisted or joined due to oxidation.
Sir tony wish u a happy bday! Hope to see u soon. Dami ako nakuha na tube sa baguio. 2boxes of used and brand new from an old tech given free to my brother.

looks good......
The lams that I asked about
Here are the pics of the lams. I included a pic where I scraped off some of the coating to show the metal underneath.
The thickness is .08mm. My caliper is kind of cruddy, but it's usually fairly close.

pictures are too small for my old eyes... can you post bigger?
my lams are either 0.35 or 0.5 mm thick, what you have are even thinner a good clue to quality...

Sorry about that.... I will have to post them one at a time due to the file size limit. I had to reduce the size of them to get them to upload. I've made them about 70 percent of the original size....

I remeasured the lam thickness.... it is .5mm. Like I said, the caliper is pretty iffy. I really need to get a better caliper....
0.5mm thickness means that they are not premium grade, but i can be wrong,
looks mo me those are typically not the types....
