Can anyone recommend a good isolation transformer for sale on-line? Need
one that will handle 5 amps or so at 120VAC, and have a standard AC plug
at the outlet. Prefer one for less than $100 or so, unless that seems
unreasonable. Found one at Mouser for $114 but that's only good for
1.25A. Getting lots of irrelevant hits on google...

I'm in the UK so it's 240 volts, but found it a lot cheaper to buy the
transformer bare and box it up myself. They're not a mass produced device
like say a 240 - 110 type so that may be the reason.

They used to be common for stage etc use, but RCDs etc seem to have
replaced them. As well as safer electronic instrument design.

They might well come up on Ebay secondhand, though.
