[TenTec] In praise of older technology

[R. Eric Sluder - W9WLW]

It is the company that bought Peter Dahl out.  Hammond transformers I believe.  

They sale there transformers for it. OEM specd replacement, heavier duty version and the 240V only that the other fella was referring to that has a higher plate voltage.

|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
