VINTAGE AUDIO TRANSFORMERS SUMMARY

A SERVICE for recreation or replacement or repair of vintage studio compressors, microphone amplifiers, equalizers, bridging and distribution amplifiers etc using tubes or transistors.

There may be small differences in dimensions, taps and in the detailed specification but we are confident these transformers will sound as good as or better than the the "original sound"

DRIP ELECTRONICS are now selling PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS and other components for the equipment listed below

CUSTOM DESIGN SERVICE Our custom design service includes this type of transformer. We will not make a charge for the design provided we accept the requirement as being of general interest. We can work from circuits, actual transformers loaned to us or from specifications. We may offer the service on a "best efforts" basis if we cannot be sure of meeting a particular performance.

EQ INDUCTORS  Please see separate page

GENERIC PRODUCTS Many manufacturers used generic transformers which you may find on our Pre-Amp and Line Amp page or our Pro-Audio page. Please feel free to contact technical support for assistance.
