Hi,

Edcor also has some useful ones. 6AQ5 is good into anything from 5K-8K.
Overkill for quality, but the price is right.

Check out the XSE10-8-8k (or XSE10-4-8k for a 3.2 ohm speaker)


Which has mounting centers at 2+13/16" (nearly 3"). Looks like a nice
transformer, though, and I'd forgotten that Edcor was still doing
them!


Apologies, I realized that after I posted the Edcor wasn't.


Again, my main constraint here is I need a 2" mounting center audio
out transformer. Not too picky about impedances etc., but has to fit
in the available space!


Have you tried guitar reverb driver transformers? They're 25K:8R and fit
tiny mounting holes. Check Triode Electronics maybe?


I'm surprised there isn't a market for this transformer size, because
lots of consumer equipment (e.g. AA5's, TV's, small phonos) use 2"
mounting center audio out transformers as well as much of my ham
equipment. Oh well, maybe I'm destined to cannibalize something after
all.


Some transformer companies will do a run for a collector's group. If
you can drum up enough interest for a group buy of 50, give Phyllis Weston
a shout at Edcor :-)

Cheers!
