[Milsurplus] useful transformers or not ?

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Hue,

People who do home brewing might want those. I do some limited home 
brewing but my approach with increasing scarcity of iron and high 
shipping costs has been building *one* power supply and switching it to 
several different radios - one at a time. I can only ever use one at a 
time anyway. I already two spares so I am set for the rest of my life. 
You might try some of the other lists if you would like to move them 
out. Maybe some of those people still build-in power supplies for each 
radio.

A few people might want one to rebuild a power supply for exisisting, 
legacy radios. The "glowbugs" and "boatanchor" lists come to mind.

73,

Bill  KU8H
