just wanted some opinions,or experiences y'all may have had finding/getting them?
Ya, I think it is. It got me all excited when I discovered this; thinking that I would be able to get good deals on them somehow because we are in the same country; no fees for importing, etc. But I have found no such deals, and have sort of lost hope of getting any good deals on quality transformers. Apparently, good deals on good transformers are an inside/priveleged secret reserved for amp manufacturers and other companies. (Of course I am basing this purely on my own ignorance).Isn't Hammond a Canadian company?
Ah Matt, be fair!Ya, I think it is.

I'm proud to be Canadian, but a little disillusioned at the same time. I found it ironic that the cheapest "Tonebone Classic Pedal" that I could get was through american ebay sellers, despite Radial Engineering being a Vancouver company. I couldn't even get anything close to those prices anywhere in Canada.
To the best of my knowledge there is none! Not to say you might not find one but I'm sure glad it's you looking and not me!:smile:Can anyone recommend a company in Canada that rewinds output transformers? I have been told Heyboer in the US does a good job as well but what about here? I have a 62 tremolux output transformer that I want to get rewound.....
Heyboer needs to mark it as return from repair. Then you just have to cross your fingers.I got a quote from Heyboer in the US of 70 dollars to rewind the output transformer for my 62 tremolux yesterday. Anyone know what paperwork needs to be filled out here so that when it comes back I don't get dinged for all kinds of charges other than the taxes (It will be shipped both ways by USPS/Canada Post), so that they don't try to charge me the value of the transformer which was already here in the first place?
