It sounds like you wont be needing this... but since I think it is interesting I thought I would post it anyway.
I wrote to Heyboer a few days ago to ask if they have a remake of the GV-22 output transformer and here is what they replied:
"Steve, hello.
Yes, the transformer for that model is the OT-215. Now, depends on how close you want it to original.
We have an exact clone on file ,HTS-5228 from a reverse engineered take down. Is very involved winding , with 7 sections , Primary is 32 ga wire ran parallel for the most part. OR Fliptops has our HTS-7668 http://www.fliptops.net/catalog/p-100604...-gemini-ii
is same pattern but a bit larger wire so not an many sections in parallel. taken to 3 primary and 2 secondary sections. Mfg one pc of exact clone would be $185. one pc wound as Fliptops $135."
The prices were higher than I expected, but not by much.
interesting to hear what he had to say about the original transformer. I have seen a number of those with dead output transformers... I wonder if that has anything do do with the parallel 32 ga wire. seems like a very thin gauge wire to put in a transformer like that. but then.. I'm not really experienced with winding transformers.
