Has anyone had experience having these rewound? Any recommedations for rewinding services? Approximate costs?
Are there suitable substitutes?
Thanks, Jim
For $14.30, I don't think you want to try rewinding! But they also sell just the winding, that might fit on your existing xfmr core: $12.30.

:Hi,
:I need a transformer for my Stromberg-Carlson 1-A. The transformer is marked No. 3-A Audio Transformer. This couples two 201A tubes. The DC resistances are about 1000 & 8000 ohms (primary & secondary).

The typical ratio for '01A audio interstage xfmrs is 1:3 (voltage step up), not 3:1. The ratio of DC resistances might throw you off if the two windings used different gauge wire.

:Hi Doug,
:Thanks. For some reason I overlooked those. I saw the Antique Electronic Supply transformer, but the 3:1 concerned me.
:I appreciate the help, and will be buying one of those HX-124 (A or C) if an original doesn't come available.

It is a great looking radio. I am hoping one of those you mentioned will fit inside the old housing so it can be kept original looking. I'll know soon enough (well, not really soon enough).
Your tip made my day.

Your replacement transformer will have lower resistance. It's doesn't matter as impedance and turns ratio are what's important. The one Doug mentioned will work.

:Thanks Doug.
:The radio has two of those transformers. Luckily, one was good, and that is how I got the measurements.
