  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.  

  ----The price of copper is at least 5 times what it was in 2000! 

  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.

  ----Agreed.

  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
