Eric, where can you buy this transformer?
Do you have a link?
The transformer in my amp is vibrating like crazy and the racket is driving
me crazier.
I have considered replacing it.
If I do that, I might be interested in the Peter Dahl version instead of an
original.
Once I dig into it, I will also replace the stock fan with a Pabst silent
fan, and the slow, noisy T/R relay with a couple of more modern, faster
relays.
I figure as long as I'm ruining the resale value of my amp, I may as well do
a good job of it! (hi)

That explains the upgraded Peter Dahl transformer you can still buy for the
AL-80a. I've considered swapping my transformer out because it looks a
little weary for its age and such. I fear a short could be in its windings
in the not to distant future. My amp I believe came from a moist
environment, and that is why I have the concern over a short. The outer
paper layers don't look their best.<br/><br/>Eric<br/>W9WLW<a
