Transformer rewinding

Anyone know of credible shops that do this? Power xformer for an Ampeg V4. Thanks ahead of time, Paul

Despite the high noise-to-signal ratio , you might want to try the amp forum for this question.

AFAIK, you would be better off getting a replacement part.

Neither rewinding nor finding replacement should be expected to be easy....

Thanks for the repies, guys. I'm actually trying to help a poster on one on the Ampeg forums. He actually found what turns out to be a rewind for it at :

but it'll cost him $400 .. for a rewind of his old unit. Hey, old amps are worth the price, right?

Thanks again, Paul

Man, that seems like a lot of dough... If they actually custom wind them for you, that's probably reasonable.

But is it possible they are just rebranding (repainting?) off-the-shelf parts for a 200-300% markup?

Can't say for sure. I do know that off-the-shelf standard parts are out there. Depending on what your time is worth, maybe $400 is not that bad....

Hey Phil,

That's what I thought. If you link to the Mercury site, then click 'our products' and scroll down to Mercury Vintage' rebuilds, what they do is use the original casing, and they rewind the innards. You have to supply the old transformer. $400 for that? Include the shipping and he's probably looking at $450! I'd keep shopping. Actually I located something that might be a bolt-in from Hammond. I'll let the guy know this afternoon. Thanks for the insights.
