FEELER: Moby´s T14/1 and C12A transformers reincarnations

[Moby]

I was just thinking, man, we really need to up the C12A transformer list quite a bit!

Yes, because I asked for the quote from the lamination supplier for two dimmensions. Leaving out one will probably change the quote. BTW, U11 transformer can be also used as the 3.6:1 or like step up 1:3.6. That way it looks more interesting. Maybe like Neve mic input option?

Absolutely yes! We need this kind of transformer... Im working on c12a circuit boards, they will fit bm800 body....PSU boards too.

Wow. I can't believe I missed this.

If anyone changes their mind and wants to back out, let me know. I need two T14/1s for a pair of C12s I'm building and wouldn't mind a third to replace the AMI T14 in my Ela M 251. I've sure had success replacing transformers with Moby's; I'm assuming I'd get similar results with my 251.

C12A transformer pre-order still open!

Regret that I missed the t14 list also. If anyone changes their mind, or a next round comes up soon, let me know.

I can give 2pcs to you!

 

[duantro]

Thanks Tlrt!!
What is the status of the production, or eta on this?

 

[Vac11]

Ok, list updated.

 

[Delta Sigma]

Ouch. That hurts.

 

[TLRT]

Ouch. That hurts.

Why hurts? I'm a very nice guy!

 

[Delta Sigma]

No worries, I won't take it personally.

Either way, if anyone else decides they want out, I still really want in on the group buy as I have almost all the other parts now for my C12 pair.

I still hope Moby will have stock beyond the group buy for future purchase but I'm guessing that's a ways down the road.

Here are the photos of the redesigned bobbins and winded test coils. I made the T14/1 injection tool year ago but to be honest I was not 100% happy with it. Now all works as a charm. It's really small sized piece and walls are tiny so it was really challenging.
I still experiment with the laminations final heat treatment. So far it looks good, (measuring and listening) but I want to try few more approaches. Since the complete process is made under Hydrogen protective atmosphere and with 1200c temperature it also takes some time and money. But who cares
Stay tuned!

Here are the photos...

Beautiful! Exciting stuff.

No worries about it. People here just made the reservations. Feeler... As soon I finish it we will start again with purchases

Thanks again Lukas!

Looks like I'm late to the party as well, I would really like to get my hands on one of these for my 251 clone.

Apologies Delta Sigma if I caused any grief. The prototypes look great Moby!

 

[Vac11]

Moby was so nice and sent me his first c12a transformer! So i had to design microphone pcbs. Im testing mic more than 4 weeks and have to say, its finaly done!

Thanks Moby for your great work!

I’d like to preorder one of the C12a transformers. Hopefully you make more of the T14/1 transformers since I missed out on those.

Thanks!
