Hi all,
My first post so be gentle
I have an ML-52 and am looking to upgrade the transformer. I have read numerous very imformative forum posts here and elsewhere, but I have some specific questions which I would like some advice on.
Firstly, have you guys had specific experienes with transformers that fit into the the ML-52 unmodified cavity, i.e. the Jensen JT-34K-DPC and Lundahl LL2911? (about 60-70 bucks ea). Any other appropriate or better types that also fit?
As an adendum to this, I have contacted Jenson (very helpful) and was told that they could make a small run (20-30 pieces) of the JT-34K-DX with a single can, meaning you get a Jensen tranny with proper wires that fit in the cavity. Much better than using the SM pins I imagine - would this be worthwhile?
Second, of coirse, a better matched transformer could be used if placed outside, like the Jensen JT-346-DX (about $230) - what is the equivalent Lundahl tranny (or any others for that matter)?. BUT is it really worth all the effort over solution 1 (cost, time, risk etc.)?
And after that, I will chop "the bell" off.....
Thanks for reading,
Scott.
Oh yeh, I can't spell very well either (I am an engineer, after all) - it should have read "revisited"
