Encapsulated or open wound?
Rapidonline might have them under toroidal transformers.
(their stock holding is a bit patchy & RS is overpriced)

Or you could try their modern replacement - no idea if they are any good
or not:

I might have one lurking in the garage intended for halogen lamps.
Dunno what its rating is until I find it.

Oddly after I posted I remembered I had a spare one. I even remembered
where it was!!!

So I'll put that in.

What seems to have happened us that electronic ones are now half the
price of iron and copper ones,...so no one is making em any more!

ah that is good

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLT50slash1.html
is as close as I need.

BUT the electronic ones are half the price these days, and often are
dimmable as well.

I prefer totoids when I can get em for lower RFI.


The problem arose because the original ones - Newey and Eyre NLLV50 -
are simply not stocked any more.

Copper prices have skyrocketed since I first installed them it seems -
then the prices were a fiver for either type: Now toroids have doubled.

Anyway I found a spare so that OK for the next ten years..

That much?
They're often under 2 quid for the 20-60W ones...

And you don't need a new MCB if using a few. ;-)

well I didn't even need my spare. Nothing wrong with the transformer.
just the mains wiring to it had been cut by something with very small
sharp teeth......
