Where To Find Woden Transformers

[msrecprod]

Does anyone know of a source for vintage Woden Transformers? I was planning on restoring an old Vox AC30 and need an old output tranny.

Anyone???

The only source I know of is old Vox amps.

yeah, "working trannies" is one big reason you DON'T junk an amp. very unlikely to find parted out high-demand models.

although I have noticed a trend on eBay of guys who figured out that parting out amps and guitars makes them more money. recent examples included all the parts for an Ampeg guitar amp (V-22 I want to say?) and a vintage Guild semi-hollow guitar. in both cases the sellers pretend in the auction that 'other parts were used for projects' when if you look at their other auctions all the parts are for sale. a nasty little habit picked up from the collector car biz, the profit numbers make sense if you're purely trying to make a buck, but its a brutal shame in some cases and should be punishable by exposure to V+.... but I digress...

best info I can add is that Mercury has a clone that's supposed to be a Woden I think. Shinrock is supposed to make great Marshall Partridge clones, not sure about if they have a Vox. in neither case do I have any first hand experience...
