TAD 150 Pre Amp transformer died


Hi Everyone,

Local stereo repair shop couldn't find a replacement anywhere.

Any thoughts about getting another power transformer for this pre-amp ?
Guess it's pretty unique.

Thanks...

That preamp as well as TAD amps were made my a Chinese company called BEZ. Paul of TAD would then finished them out with some finishing steps.....

The transformer is most likely a BEZ and they still are in business and sell transformers. I bet you can take the old one out, take a picture and jot down the specs, then email BEZ for a replacement. I heavily modified a TAD 60 and have emailed BEZ thus this knowledge.

I would think you just need the transformer specs. You can then order from Hammond. Just look at the tranny and write down all you see......hopefully there are stickers etc...

No need to use the same tranny. Just a tranny that meets the specs needed.
No need to sell for parts any good repair place will simply replace the tranny with one spec'd accordingly.

What area to do live? Goodness even I could do this simple job. You can get your pre fixed for sure.
