60 Hz typically requires a finer (thinner) lamination to decrease the

Hmm, ok, maybe I'd be better off sourcing these transformers down there.
I'll browse eBay.au and ask around. Maybe if I can find some used ones
they won't be as expensive as I fear. Bit gun-shy over prices, rather
shocking to see a 30 pack of Pepsi on sale for $26. But maybe these
won't be as dear as I was thinking.
