Hi,

I am looking for a EI transformer rewinding service with reasonable charge
for my old Denon turntable. The input side is opened and I cannot find any
thermal fuse built in. Any information is welcome and I am very appreciate.

Thanks

Eric,

I'd suggest you start by contacting Tritronics in Maryland (an
authorized Denon parts distributor)and seeing if the original Denon
transformer is still available. After that I'd post the model number
and part number to this newsgroup and hope someone has a dead turntable
with a usable transformer. I doubt having a transformer custom rewound
would be less expensive than replacement.

Also, it is really odd for a power transformer to fail in a turntable
unless there was an outside influence, such as corrosion from moisture
or a power surge, or internal problems, like way too much of a load on
it. Though, sometimes things do just fail for the heck of it.

P.S. I didn't suggest a rebuilder (which was your question after all)
because I don't know of any.
