Managed to dig a spanner out that was the right size.
Only thing left to do is connect the Traffo and run a ground wire to the inputs and outputs.
Then its on to getting it running at 1.2A.

I ordered one of these Toroidy things at the weekend £50 all in is pretty good i reckon. There are cheaper out there though.
Cheaper, yes. Better, no.Originally Posted by smangus

Nothing worse than a noisy transformer. It's worth every penny IMO

I'm talking CHEAPER not the one you bought mate. Yours wasn't far off the same price was it?

Mine cost £33 and I'm chuffed that it's silent.
It could have been a duffer but i guess i was lucky
If however i had seen the toroidy before i bought thats what I'd have ordered .

Where did you get yours Steve? Will it need heat sinks to run at 1.2A? Was just going to run at 600ish but if it can go to 1.2 with the fets bolted to the case floor I might go that far.
Having said that, I have rearranged internally and so need a new front panel as the holes for the knobs are in the wrong place. That means I will have a piece of 400x90x10 aluminium that can be adapted. Bolt the fets to that and bolt that to the floor of the case....Hmmm....

That's a great price! You were lucky. Share the link mate. Someone may require a cheaper one to get started.
