Re: few questions

Hi Seth,

Search the list for microwave. there was a discusson on rewiring a
microwave oven transformer. BIG and CHEAP.

Search junk yards. it's fun, you'll get stuff you never imagined,
and you may find a transformer exactly right for you.

I just scored a major win with a local graphical design shop. 2
vaccumm pumps with all the bells and whistels in enclousres a 3rd is
looming in the near future. AND a whopping big power supply, it has a
front panel switch labeled 2kw-5kw-18kw-35kw and inside are some
transformers about the size of a pair of McMaster Carr catalogues
stacked together.

Regarding pricing, in my searches, I have found that individual
transformers and individual caps offer the best value. I have not
seen if this is a good approach. but the availablilty is there and
the cost is lower. and in adition, you can mix and match voltages.
