I run and own a motor rewind shop so my trade is an Armature Winder. In saying that most transformers I rewind are for my own use with some for other people with vintage requirements. Commercially rewinding transformers isn't viable, but as part of my hobby I don't mind doing them. Having a shop with the equipment and materials allows me to do them without hassle. |

There was a local transformer rewinder here - I only spoke to him by phone way back. He was a bit of a cranky curmudgeon who said " [highly revered] Western-Electric transformers are garbage! " (he must have had multiple requests to rewind high priced W.E. audio transformers) Do you think he was right? Ever taken apart one of those highly collectable potted W.E. audio transformers? |

By chance I came across this information by Harry Lythall - SM0VPO, on how to rewind transformers and calculator/data to make audio coupling transformers. It may be of help. |

DangerousDave: do you do rewinds full time, or only when it suits?
