Unhappy Parts for WAD 300B

Having left the UK about 18 months ago and now finally arrived in Cyprus via Kyrgyzstan and unpacked all my Hi Fi I find that the Mains tranny on one of my 300B PSE has given up the ghost. Does anyone know if these will still be available or if not where I could source one from.
Many thanks
Cyprus Martin

Hi Martin,
How are the chips in Cyprus? I heard they are the best chips in the world
As WAD tries to sort itself out,it occurred to me that you could probably source an alternative.
Does anyone wind transformers in Cyprus?
Or you could always source from the uk

The only person i know out of the uk who maybe could help you is Black Stuart,who resides in Spain.
Hope that helps
Kindest regards
Martin

If you can supply the number (possibly written in gold pen or a label) on the paper covering of the TX winding I'll make enquiries for you on Monday Martin.

Hi Richard,
The number on the tranny is D8756.

Martin,
The chips here on the whole are poor. At the cost of possibly starting a north/south war the best chips I have had anywhere (and I've lived or worked in almost every country in the northern hemisphere) were when I lived near Leeds.
I asked about transformers here and all I got were blank looks. I would stand more chance in Kyrgyzstan than here!
Cheers to you both
Martin Emmott

I built WAD 300PSE using my own sourced parts. The mains transformers were from Majestic Transformer CO. If you have no luck with Richard's info you would be able to order them from Majestic using my own part number. Let me know if you need further help.

Regards
Les

The best chips I tasted were also when I lived in Leeds. Beef dripping is the key. And Yorkshire fish cales....
