Gary rewound a Collins 30S-1 plate/screen iron for me. When it was done, you could not tell it from NOS. Even threw in a few extra windings on the screen secondary. Excellent work for a reasonable price.

EXCELLENT WORK

Time owned: months

I had a spare high voltage transformer for my Drake L-4b that I had removed from service due to a winding BUZZ. It sat around for about 6 years, and I decided to send it to Gary with Transformer Rewinding Service the end of April 2010. He tested it, and vacuum dipped it, baked it, and retested it. After I received it back I tested it and voila, buzz is gone, and it is ready to go back into service. I would say his turn around time was 2 weeks, and his prices were most reasonable. All along the way he kept me informed on what was going on with this transformer.
I am most pleased with his service, and would use him again.

Found this fellow after finding one of my SB-610 monitor scope had a transformer issue. He had a used and rewound transformer in stock. After a discussion, I chose the rewind, as the materials he uses are better than the original. He says this:
"I use 10 mil nomex paper between the primary and secondary winding. I also vacuum dip these to insure good varnish penatration. (fingers crossed), I have done maybe 8 or 10 of these and so far, not a one has come back."
Gary took a trade in - I send my bad transformer for a discount on a beautiful, better-than-new transformer. It has been working fine in my monitor scope, and I'm not worried about walking away from the operating position with worries of a transformer failure.
Also VERY responsive via email, and will answer any question and discuss his process. Active on the AMFONE.NET site.
Another great supplier on my preferred list.
