tube synthesizer

[Paul Maddox]

All,

You can also get transformers for these tube circuits
from this place and their distributers, or you could phone
a valve manufacturer and ask them, their are plenty out there!

A source for some of these transformers is:

I recently ordered some replacement Fender replacement grill cloth from
them and got their catalog.  The have both power transformers and output
transformers as replacements for Fender Tube amps and some listed as
Universal.  The listing on the website is not complete.  An example in the
catalog reads:
Universal output transformer for 50 watt amp, 2, 4, or 8 ohms .......$79.95
