Just for fun, here is my dress I created from junk as mentioned above:Attachment 12355
Murray,
I ordered a new Boost It shipping to USA Minnesota and I think the 115VAC transformer winding is needed. I can't wait to get it and run it in my system.
I made the order on April 21st. Do you know when you will get to the winding for for this unit?
I appreciate your work and time posting on this forum thread. Interesting view into New Zealand life and your music passion.
Thanks,
Andy
Yes. Adam was here today to shove me along, and will do a couple of those xfmrs today so Mike can complete another unit, and we'll have another 115v tranny in hand too.
Guess I do waste too much time mucking about on the dreaded internet, sure is a consumer of time, but also a lot of fun. Also do have to contend with trolls as in the photos above who have to attack. Not sure that I'll be on that outfit again, but here's my slightly loopy Facebook page:

Nice! Thanks Murray!
No worries on farting around on the internet. Everyone needs a break in the action.
Thanks for your work on the transformers Murray. Not many places left in the world doing this quality of work building hand made electronics all the way down to the hand wound transformers you do. Worth the wait!
Thanks again and enjoy your Southern hemisphere Fall!
regards
Andy
-PS you asked a couple years ago where my turn table was... I finally got that taken care of last Winter. Spinning some "Hooker and Heat" at the moment. NICE!

I have an idea I may have that record. I've certainly got those guys.
Tranny for USA voltage unit is wound. In wax today.
Cheers and good listening.
Murray.
Getting some winding done:
That is actually a 1950s machine I bought off a friend about twenty years ago for $100 when he decided to move to Australia. He was soon back though and building speaker designs and sub-woofers.
The machine has a Kopp Variator, which means it has continuously variable pitch. So no matter what the reel says, be it square inches, B&S, SWG or millametres, a slight twiggle of the little brass wheel (only while moving!) and they are layered in perfectly. The machine is actually calibrated in SWG.
I did in fact completely rewire it and overhauled the Kopp Variator and other things shortly after I got it so that everything that was supposed to happen did in fact do so. It already had a new motor.
Not many who have that skill Murray. No doubt.
Thanks for spinning me up my transformer Murray!!!!
Another new record I just got the other day that I'm digging - "blak and blu" by gary clark jr
Here is a good song off of it.

Thanks for everything you do Murray. Enjoy the Fall season down in NZ
Great track! I've got it bookmarked.
I'm not sure whether the internet is a great productivity boost for Mankind, or a wonderful diversion. Anyway, today I spent some really enjoyable time bringing up things that entertain and even titillate me (without being porn!), so I then select ones that I think more people will enjoy and "share" or link them onto my Facebook page.
That is a good outlet, as it does not have to be any particular area of interest, just mine!
Some good additions did get put up today, and I hope you all enjoy them.

Xfmrs progressing, but Mike of "Boost-it" construction is a bit under the weather at present (Winter here).
I'm doing two USA ones to add to a couple at least of the UK/NZ ones we have.
Hope all had a look at my YouTube link, I'm very pleased with it:
