I need new power transformers for a damaged Bada PH-12 that I bought at a nice price. I'm quite a noob when it comes to transformers, so I don't even know where to look to get the proper equipment. Anyways, the mysterious sealed cylinder on the PH-12 has 3 sets of outputs. One plugs into a spot labeled ~265v, and it consists of 2 wires. Another 2-wire output plugs into a spot labeled ~9v. Finally, there is a 3-wire output (I'm pretty sure it's center tapped) that goes into a connector labeled ~35v*2 . The PH-12 originally used a 220v input, but I guess I might as well try to configure it for 120v since I'm replacing the power supply transformers.

The problem is that I have no clue where to look for any transformers that could give me this type of output. I'd really appreciate some tips about the wonderful world of transformers

woot, i get to beat rick to the punch.

be sooo carefull about working with high voltages.

that is all.

Thanks a lot for the link (and the safety warning

)

but I'm not really quite sure what I should be looking for. Should I look for 3 individual transformers to output each of those voltages (0v-9v, 0v-265v, & 35v-0v-35v)?

If your original transformer had three secondaries at those voltages, and you want a similar replacement, then you need to have one custom-wound to your specs. The chance of finding an exact replacement off-the-shelf is slim, unless you source one from the maker of the Bada amp.

I assume the style of transformer you seek is a toroid. Try contacting Avel-Lindberg or Richard Sumner Technology for a quote. You'll need to provide information about the exact configuration (primary and secondary windings, voltages, and the VA ratings of each).
