Default Peter Dahl going out of business...

Jesus! The whole broadcast industry relies on him, not just the amateur
community.

So, now what are we going to do for weirdo stuff like plate modulation
transformers?


Getting weirdo stuff rebuilt isn't all that difficult, if it's large
enough. There are a couple good transformer rebuild shops in my state
which mostly do pole pigs but can be encouraged to work on big chokes,
power and modulation transformers if the money is right.

But getting brand new stuff.... there's nobody like Dahl. And getting
rebuilds for small transformers.... again, the guys are unique.
