[Amps] Transformer Update

[Steve Cook]

Just a heads up to the group...

I have been working with Harbach for a couple of weeks trying to come up with a 20 to 30 KVA transformer they could build -- you know, a 250 to 450 pound hypersil like Peter used to build all the time.

At first I was told that he could build me  a 250LB transformer for about $1500.  Then he said that it might be closer to $2000.  

Today he told me could not build me a 250 pounder -- get this... 7000V at 3A for anything less than $4000.  He said the A-0550 core alone is $2000.

Bottom line -- Jeff may own the rights to the Dahl designs, but he doesn't have the faintest clue what to do with them.  I get the impression he is scared to death to build a big transformer.

He spends more time telling you what he can't do, rather than what he can do.

Better look around if you are looking for big iron -- Harbach is a dead end...
