Need a PT 125P6-A for a Tremolux 6G-9 (6BQ-5s)

Thanks to the guys at FDP I have learned that to correctly restore '61 Tremolux #00146 I DO need a power transformer 125P6-A with the +30 volt lead from the secondary? This power transformer is different from later versions of the 125P6-A that do not have this lead. Does anyone know where I can get an original or does anyone make a repro ? Thanks J. Peden

I already have what they sell as a 125P6-A It lacks the +30 volt lead that the early ones had. I suppose I could have them wind me a custom one but I shudder at the thought of the cost although I have been very pleased with all of the transformers I have gotten from him. J.P.

Yeah, I'm not sure how bad that custom wind charge would hurt...hopefully not too bad. It's worth a call to find out.
