Sunn 200s Power Transformer
« on: February 12, 2002, 01:17:00 am »
I have a Sunn 200s with the power transformer missing
Does anyone know where I might find a replacement and how to make sure I get the correct one?
Also, are any other power tubes compatible with this amp,I realize I may have to re-bias if this is done.

You might try contacting http://www.triodeelectronics.com and consult with them if they have an appropriate  replacement.  Here's the link to their xformer page with a candidate for one that may work in a Sunn:

Angela Instruments (http://www.angela.com/) might also be able to help you with transformer questions.

Good luck!

Angela Instruments carries Hammond brand transformers and probably has a replacement for your missing 200S power transformer. These are well-made and well-priced transformers. I recently bought a Hammond output transformer for my 100S from Angela. Angela is pretty much a "serve-yourself" kind of place, but if you are really nice, Steve may take pity on you and help you pick the correct transformer!
The Magnequest transformers are very nice, but very expensive. They are probably superior spec-wise to the Hammond transformers which would be advantageous in a hi-fi amp, but may not provide enough sonic benefit in a bass amp to justify the additional cost.

Good Luck!

Hope you get a cool transformer.  That was cool funny to say you "may" have to rebias.
Heads up, everybody!
