[Amps] Harbach Elec now selling Peter Dahl Xfmrs

[Rich Hallman - N7TR]

I just got a reply back from Jeff and he stated due to this specific
transformer (Ten-Tec Titan 425) having 5 secondary's and multiple layer
windings, the major price increase is in the cost of the copper wire and
silicon steel used in the Hipersil cores.  Also....PWD price sheet was
pretty flat since 2000. Jeff stated most of the other transformers are
pretty close to the original PWD costs.  

I think it's great that the PWD line continues to be available, I just
will wait to replace the ones in my Titan 425's when they actually fail.

If you have questions...email Jeff directly off the Harbach web site.
He has been very responsive to all my questions.

Thanks...
Rich

I sent a second email to confirm the price, but the first email was
pretty specific for a replacement Titan 425 transformer the price was
$550. The specs looked like a cut and paste from the original PWD specs,
so nothing looked like it changed there.

Also...PWD web site is still available and has the old prices still
listed.

Prior to the closure of PWD in December, I was going to replace the four
Titan 425 amp transformers with Peter Dahl.  Cost was around $350 each
at the end of last year.  Was just quoted $550 for the same transformer.
I think Ill hold off for now...

Hi Rich, Did the prices really go up that high with the change in
ownership?  You would think that $550.00 wsould buy you at 2 amp CCS
transformer at 3000vac.  Could there be some mistake?  Lou
