Parts for transformers.

[Anthon]

I wanted to experiment with making my own transformers.
I've been doing a lot of tube projects lately (also selling some kits/finished projects), so it would save me a lot of money in the long run, if I could make them myself.
I've bought about 15 power transformers, and the same amount of output transformers last year. Mostly Hammond 290aex, 1760c. I think I'll need more this year.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to find the parts. All distributors I know sell only tiny ferrite cores and bobbins for really small ones.
I'm looking for EI-core laminations (per kg), end bells and bobbins, for power and output transformers.
Any good suppliers in Europe?

I would even invest in a CNC coil winder and stacking machines, if I get satisfactory results.

I've found a supplier of steel laminations in UK. The site says they sell small quantities as well.
