Maplin - mains transformers
I've just been on their website, looking for a transformer to power
my latest and greatest piece of futility (that's the DIY angle). Looked up the mains transformer section and got a real surprise. All their toriodal transformer range is listed as "discontinued" :-( Just out of interest I looked up variants: Their total stock holding of PCB mounted mains transformers come to 7 (5 of one type, 2 of the other) So far as traditional mains transformers goes, most of the voltage ranges only have single-figure stock levels. the only range that has what I'd've thought of as practical stocks is the sub-miniature range. OK, putting aside any views of "they're not a serious vendor anymore, they're only interested in selling toys" that people may have. Does this paltry offering reflect lack of demand or is it just another symptom of their decline?
