Another "what's the best tranny" question.(AC30)

8/30/2000 4:23 AM
PeterF	Another "what's the best tranny" question.(AC30) Ah think I'mma gonna build me uh AC30 clone. So what transformers would you folks recommend? So far I've found: CLARK PARTS OT-$105 choke-$30, HOLLAND OT-$82 PT-$85 choke-$26, and HOFFMAN (it says they're re-issues. I don't know if it means they ARE the ones used in the re-issues) OT-$75 PT-$80 choke-$36. I also found a couple OT's that say 4 EL84/30w but don't actually say they're made to vox specs, although I assume that's what they're getting at. Any opinions appreciated. PeterF
