It's probably cheaper to buy some scrap, there is usualy in each bigger city
some elctronics surplus store, try garage sales with odd equipment. Wires, core
and all that will probably cost more.

You can do it yourself, the biggest problem is inability to test the voltage
while you are making it, in order to test it you must almost complete it, then
you find that the voltages do not match with or without the load and then you
must take it apart again.

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
