HT transformer value?
 

Hi guys,

I've inherited a bunch of HT transformers from a an old ham who sadly
went silent key a while back. They're all pretty old; typically around
1200V output and on average I guess about 9" cube in size. He used to
pick them up at rallies and so forth to make linear amps with. I plan
to keep a couple for myself, but if I sell the others, what sort of
price should I ask roughly?

I'd suggest looking at www.hammond.com and going to their
relatively new transformer division page. There are prices there
for the "old" tube (excuse, valve) type transformers that they
have available from the Canadian subsidiary.

Hammond products, including the transformer line, are listed
on the DigiKey and Mouser distributor sites here across the
pond...can also be a guide.

To sell "HT transformers" over here, labeling them "high voltage"
instead of "high tension" might be better for getting sales bites.
"HT" over here generally means "Handheld Transceiver." A
9-inch cube of iron and copper might be "handheld" by a
California Governor but few others... :-)

Bon chance.

Ooops, my fault.

Gets everyone to Hammond's transformer page. Interesting stuff
on links from there.

http://www.hammondmfg.com/

is the Hammond home page with lots of enclosures, chassis, etc.,
plus a link to transformers.

www.hammond.com is indeed the home page of Hammond
Promotions with some good prices on bulk orders of cards
by companies. Was there last week. But for business, not
transformers. :-)
