its you / Steve:
Check the thrift stores or garage sales........ buy an old or "not so old"
stereo receiver...... and presto..... a transformer and other parts for
cheap.
If you shop around you can pay almost next to nothing and of course it
probably won't work, but you may be surprised and it just may work fine.....
if it does work fine you may not need to build an amplifier.

Kind of an off question, but I'm searching for a 60V CT (30-0-30)
transformer (1-2A is fine) for an amplifier I've been building. Would
I be better off just shelling out the cash and getting one, or is it
realtively easy to build your own (there are all sorts of torridial
cores avaliable at a local store, all for under 5$) I realize that
purchasing one would of course be the ideal situation, but I don't
particularily feel like spending 35$ for just a transformer... Anyone
have any recommendations where to look to buy one of these? Is
homebrewing one of these transformers relatively complicated? All
thoughs, including negative, are appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Steve
