2061x transformer question

I posted that my 2061x crapped out. To replace the transformers with Mercury's will cost about $470 . I know they make great stuff but that is pretty steep I must say. I know Heyboer is less expensive and excellent (that's what's in my Club 40) has anyone used a replacement from them for this amp, and if so does it drop in? Also did they have a part number?

I called Heyboer and they are researching it, but any help would be great.

Thanks!

 

Hi John,

I really appreciate your input .OK here's what happened. Playing it the other day both channels cranked, then it seemed to cut in and out then the volume dropped to almost nothing. I can still hear the guitar just no volume. I put in new tubes to test it and it was no different. So I get sound but no volume. I assume that it the OT, correct?

Mark,

Do you mean to say that you blew the Mojo transformers as well? Was it just a drop in replacement?

 

Cool thanks Mark. Do you mean this one? http://www.mojomusicalsupply.com/item.asp?pid=17707&pg=45008&id=7000118
They use the 18 watt OT correct?

 

Thanks, that will same me some money.

If Mojo is good, and I believe they are Heyboers I'll go with that and save about $187.

 

Thanks guys, Heyboer called back and will make me a OT for $90. They said they have made them for other guys from one they reversed engineered so it will drop right in. It'll take 2 weeks and very nice guys.

teleamp, I'm going to have my tech take a look at it to make sure, but I explained the problem to him and he thinks that is what is most likely the problem. He has already encountered this before. But tnaks you and I'll have him check it all out before I actually get the tranny.

I also spoke with Korg USA and they were very helpful and cool about getting new ot's (both of them) as long as I go through a service center. I asked the tech if they have still been experiencing problems with these trannys and he said "I don't have any record of the 2061x's having a problem. I know we had a problem with the 1974x". I believe both amps have the same tranny correct? I do appreciate their service on this one, but I am going to go with someone else. After all it is well documented that this is a big problem with the line.

 

The unfortunate thing is that I already had the ot's replaced by Marshall. So these are the new ones. They worked for about a year, sounded great but I have lost confidence in the Dagnal's. I don't want to have to think about it at all. The first time around I sent it directly to Korg and had the amp back in a week. No complaints on my end in terms of service.

I think you mean Mitch Colby, Mitch Mitchell is a drummer for some guitar player who's name escapes me.
