[Hammarlund] HX-50 Power Transformer

[Robert Sauvan]

I had them build me a new transformer for my HT-30 a year ago and they did
a great job and it was actually cheaper than rewinding at the time. I have
an email into them before I posted the message and am looking forward to
hearing back on Monday. Alden is the guy I have been dealing with in the
past and am hoping he is still there. Very helpful guy and the lead time to
get the new transformer for my HT-30 at the time was only a couple of
weeks. Will let everyone know how I make out.

Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
