Hey folks,

I've got a bunch of Lundahl LL1540's for sale, £25 each.

y3mTBFoXH_4fFE5KJ309YxHfJHYIQpJcUJbAc77huZrTF9JSSDweAhvSTNpNY8AxTTnoJVCpyCO6hSNVjoEv-1VZ-rjxBXUDDhf-ZLKxo6XZS7qw_CGkzgarmBtNe1omPC37jFwRXb5_4TYS6OxxEQlSvIe9JfZo_-v-vezN4jDOi0


I also have a large amount of Belclere ES8325 line input transformers, They are remnants from a relatively-modern (mainly opamp based) Ex-BBC broadcast mixer which was parted out a few years ago.  I didn't see the original mixer and my friend can't remember the brand, But I'd guess it was Audix or possibly (but unlikely) Neve.
They are essentially identical in specs and performance to the ES5232 transformers used in the Audix MXT1000 mixers, My friend said that some otherwise identical channels in his mixer had ES5232's fitted in place of the ES8325's.

They are 3:1CT turns ratio (10db-ish step down, With centre tapped secondary) and were used for "modern" (10kΩ) line inputs.

Frequency plot taken at 44.1khz (higher sample rates were causing issues) so that's why there is a steep rolloff just below 20khz.
Secondary terminated with 1k1 resistor, For 10kΩ reflected impedance at primary.

Belcere ES8325's are; £15 each, 5+ for £12 each, 10+ for £10 each, 25+ for £8 each.
If anybody wants more than 25 we can discuss a better price.

I also have a pair of very nicely made Neve B284 clone PCB's I picked up on ebay a while back and a B181 clone PCB I got through this forum, All of which are currently unpopulated and are now surplus to my needs.
Pics of these to come soon...
The B284's are £10 each, The B181 is £8.


Paypal payment is preferred, Although bank transfer is ok too, if you prefer.
I'll ship anywhere in the world, Just let me know where you are (and what you want) and I'll get back to you with exact shipping prices.
 
Hi,

The Belclere's are just under 27mm x 27mm, and are around 23mm tall including the pins.

Cheers,
Lee

Thanks Lee,

I'm interested in 24 of them. I've sent you a PM

2x LL15540's and 24x Beclere ES8325's sold so far, Thanks guys.  :)
I'll get them posted today and email your tracking numbers to you, as soon as I have them.

I also have a pair of new and unused Sowter 6389 microphone input transformers I'm selling.
They're 1:8 step up transformers fitted in mumetal cans with threaded grommets for mounting.

I bought them on ebay a while ago, With the intention of using them for Redd47 inputs but I've decided to go with something else instead, as I'm now building 4 channels and wanted to use the same iron on all of them.
The attached PDF contains the info I got from Sowter about them.

I'm looking for £85 for the pair.
Pics to come...
