50 Hz transformers require double the lamination weight than 60Hz does

60 Hz typically requires a finer (thinner) lamination to decrease the
Eddy current losses and heating incurred in the lamination core.
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.
