TAD 150 Pre Amp transformer died


Hi Everyone,

Local stereo repair shop couldn't find a replacement anywhere.

Any thoughts about getting another power transformer for this pre-amp ?
Guess it's pretty unique.

Thanks...

Here's an email I got from BEZ this morning:

Sorry this pre amplifier is not our product so we can’t repair.

We wish to help you but we only make EI core transformers.

Best regards

Hoping Mercury Magnetics can help.

Thanks so much for the replies Czarivey, Grannyring and Metman.
Any further thoughts please let me know.
I would think you just need the transformer specs. You can then order from Hammond. Just look at the tranny and write down all you see......hopefully there are stickers etc...

No need to use the same tranny. Just a tranny that meets the specs needed.
No stickers, no specs. Repair shop wrote down 4 numbers he said were important, think they represent voltage.
on the left (incoming): 110
on the right (outgoing): 200 11 32

If you had a choice between Torid vs CI, would you choose one over the other ? (original was torid)

Mercury Mag said they wouldn't make a torid for audio but could probably make a CI that would work.

Hammond might be able to make a torid version.
