John,
The people at Hammond are still terrific! A gentleman by the name of Doug Hutt has been a resource for years, I once called him about a transformer for a Music Mite, they had a good sub but was missing one lead, I think it was a centre tap. About 8-10 later I received the transformer in the mail with the extra tap, NO CHARGE!! I had no idea he was going to do that. Great and very knowledgeable man, unfortunately he passed suddenly about 5 years ago. I spoke to another engineer there and asked who would be replacing him, both he and another administrator said, “he cannot be replaced”. Perhaps I’ll call and see if they have any recommendations. Thanks John, for the suggestion.

I have an amplifier to repair from a W1015 and it requires an output transformer. My usual Hammond “go to” replacements will be too tall as this one is mounted underneath the chassis. Just wondering what others use here? Preferably Hammond as I’m in Canada. Thanks, Mauro
Hi Mauro,
Talk to the people at Hammond about your problem, I'm sure they can help!
I met Fred Hammond back in the 60s at a meeting of the CVWA (Canadian Vintage Wireless Assoc.) in Toronto (I was a teenage radio collector and editor of the Cat's Whisker - our club newsletter) and we had a nice chat, he was all for supporting tube stuff and as far as I know the factory still is happy to help when they can!
