Where can I buy decent quality but reasonably priced mains and output transformers in the UK? Definitely cheaper than Sowter, preferably cheaper than Watford too. For something like a Champ/small Vox, and ideally with a 5V tap on the mains for tube rectification...

Any leads would be much appreciated!

They probably do something suitable. I can't remember the name of the company that makes the transformers for them - but I've got the name at home. I can post it later - they may sell direct to you

I've found this company useful for supplies of stuff that is more difficult to get hold of in the UK & their prices are usually a lot better than you can get here. It comes from Germany, so shipping may be a little more expensive. They've got my orders mixed up before as well, so it can be frustrating, but they worked out OK in the end.

Thanks very much. I didn't know either of those sites and it looks like they've got some good stuff there. For now though I think I'm going to get one of the Champ transformer sets from Triode Electronics. Even with shipping, duty and VAT added on it'd still be cheaper than getting parts from any European company I've seen.

Cheers.

No Problem.

Yeah, that Champ transformer set is really cheap.

In case anyone's interested Torres Amps have their transformers made by http://www.transformer-equipment.co.uk
