Hello,

I figured I'd let everyone know how far along I was on starting the 
transformer shop. I have everything here now to finish the large winding 
lathe I started. All the quotes is in from the different manufacturers. 
We were set up to buy steel from Tempel Steel and Magnetic Metals. The 
wire will be coming from several vendors as you have to play the copper 
market with it. EIS will be the primary vendor supplying the wire, 
varnish, hardware, and paper. C-cores will be available but will need to 
be quoted per each application. Our prices are approximately 17% less 
than Dahl on the large transformers, and more on the smaller ones. 
Quantity orders get better discounts. We will offer transformers and 
chokes up to 3500 watts. Where I'm handicapped, that size is about as 
large as I can handle without help. By December, we should be winding as 
scheduled. I will first be offering some screen/bias transformers with 
heater and control windings included. The screen will have taps for 315 
Vac, 275 Vac, and 236 vac. That will give 445 Vdc, 389 Vdc, and 334 Vdc. 
They will have a 90 Vac bias winding, 12 vac control winding, and 6 Vac 
heater winding. Let me know if I can be of help.

Best & 73's
