Thx a lot! I'll place an order for'em as soon as I got the chassis ordered ;-). Very good service indeed.

Hi,
Is replacing a OT, PT and adding a choke difficult? I've soldered, built small circuits, wired guitars...etc. Never done anything with amps but can follow schematics...Specifically a DSL 50....with the exception of the choke, are the OT & PT drop ins?
Also, how will the sound differ in you opinion?

I used Classic's Output Trans and Choke in my AC30. It is a tone MONSTER.
Great Transformers, and you can't beat the price.

To the best of my knowledge, VHR does not use our transformers.
Well that sucks. Is Hi Watt USA using them?
Nice to have another place to go to in the search for an alternative for transformer replacement ... I will definetely check you guys out
here are mine....

Here's my JCM800 clone using classictone transformers
good product indeed.
And one question, in your website, there will be a replacement transformer for 100 watt JCM2000/DSL coming soon.
Will it be a better transformer from JCM2000/DSL's original transformer? My friend has DSL 100 which has a very hot power transformer, and start getting annoyed by its heat.
Thanks
Hi, I used your Classictone transformers in a 5E3 build I completed recently, and am amazed with the sound. I just couldn't bring myself to spend the kind of money that Mercury asks for their transformers, and I'd heard some good things about Magnetics Components Inc, so I tried them, am glad I did. So interesting to me to know that you guys also made the transformers in my 1964 Valco-made National combo as well- that amp is almost 50 years old! pretty funny... and interesting to know that you've been in this business for a little while now, ha...
I've been interested in upgrades for my newer-version Vox AC15 Handwired amp- was thinking my only option was Mercury and like I said, I agree that it's just not right to charge that much money for something that I think could be made and sold at the same quality for a fraction of the price. Then today I looked at your site and saw you're making AC15 transformers now! These amps are well made in my opinion, I put a Made in England Alnico speaker in there and it does sound great, but as I understand it, they do use the cheapest Chinese transformers they can get, so I'm hoping that maybe some quality USA made iron might make a difference. I would like to ask though, is this a drop in replacement? I don't mind soldering but I'm not crazy about the idea of drilling new holes. Would the screw holes line up? it's the AC15HW1 or AC15HW1x that came out about a year ago.
Another question I have for anyone who would like to chime in, I've heard it said that with transformers, for the best sound you should use the highest ohm tap on the transformer and then match the speakers to that. I've heard other more than qualified people say that's absurd... Can anyone say, is there a tone difference between running 2 different speakers of the same model whose only difference is being an 8 ohm and 16 ohm, if your amp has both 8 and 16 ohm taps?
Thank you!
