Western Electric transformers

Hi guys,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

We've an important announcement to make.

Western Electric cores are running low on the market. We're working on a customer order and got a shock. A lot of these cores are swooped by some vendors and make them to sub-par transformers - what a waste. As a result, these Western Electric cores are no longer abundant and choices are very limited. 

If you intend to use Western Electric cores to make transformers, please be quick and order soon. In future, we may need to buy those sub-par ready made transformers to obtain those nice Western Electric cores for rewinding to something much better.

We've made some in the past, as you can see below:

There are still some original WE cores, untouched at decent price. Make a move quick before it is gone. The WE1048 that used previously are no longer available at our previous source. What a sad news! 

Apologies to break such a news at such time, but I think it is a good news that we discover it early. Else, it will be as rare as the 1950's - 1960's WE 300B tube.

Transformers repair

Repair transformers? Call us trans repair king! I think hundreds, if not thousands of transformers have gone through our hands over the years. 

We are very happy to hear that our customer's McIntosh amp are repaired. Well, this is just one of the message we get, there are many more that we're just too busy to post. 



We can learn the transformer winding method from others, and we help to restore the damage equipment - saving mother Earth from being overwhelmed with more electronics junk! 

Nobody (or very less, LOL) repairs transformers like us. We'll unwind EVERY unit received and record down all the data about the transformers so that we can rewind it back exactly, according to the original materials, if can be found. 

Your transformers will get a new lease of life for another few centuries as long as it is working in the original designed conditions. 

Repaired transformers get a 1 year warranty. Conditions apply, such as, as long as is not abused, or placed in a faulty amplifiers (well, that could be what caused it to burn initially, right?). 

Tips: it is very important to keep the original core of the transformers. Once it's gone, it's gone. That's the most important component in repairing transformers. We recommend to reuse the original core to get back the original sound signature of the transformer. 

Now, get your damaged transformers here! McIntosh, Marantz, Scott, Dynaco, AudioNote, any transformers, as long as they are not burnt to ashes, we can repair it. Satisfaction guaranteed!
