On a similar note, if you are in the UK, mine came to GBP 49.50 (including 
fixing kit) + P&P and took 7 days - I did a fair bit of shopping around and 
these guys came out on top using my metrics. YMMV.

Its 50VA, 9cm x 3cm and weighs in at 0.8kg (see photo above). - small, 
nicely finished & constructed

Manufacturer was Avel Lindberg Ltd. - http://www.avellindberg.co.uk- chap I 
dealt with, Chris, was extremely helpful and suggested that for a small 
form factor, the transformer should be vacuum impregnated with varnish to 
improve insulation as there is an 800V secondary winding (400-0-400VAC) - 
he also suggest that the standard Melinex Tape Finish should be replaced 
with a Terylene Tape Finish to ensure a greater take-up of the varnish. The 
custom design reference number was CE7143/1. Chris also pointed out that 
the varnish cuts down on mechanical hum.

All that was included in the price.

Grahame is correct - the transformer is $90 + taxes + shipping from:

http://www.sumr.com

It'll be ready in two to three weeks.  Its a busy time for me so that'll 
give me lots of time to build the boards.


The transformer will weigh ~0.9 Kg so shipping may not be too high (they 
are a twenty minute drive for me).


This is a marvelous clock and Grahame has been incredibly helpful. He 
found SumR for me - even though it is the same as Primrose Audio who I 
knew about and am planning an audio project with their audio transformers.


Langrex seems to have lots of D700U's - I had 100 already.

I helped Tom Nolan in Ontario (on Neonixie) find a winder in Toronto 
who quoted $90 Canadian (presumably plus postage and tax, if any). He 
was very suprised by the price in a pleased way as he had assumed it 
would be expensive.


The built clock here continues to work... waiting for the case from 
Nick Stock (who is in the UK with family for his mother's wedding).

Hi Dave

I wondered how you were getting on. The trigger clock was a diversion 
from scope clocks for a while and now I'm back working on my next scope 
clock.  32 bit AVR at 66MHz, digital synthesis of the sine and cosine 
waves (so no fiddly set up), 4kV CRT PSU so will drive most 5" CRTs 
including those with a PDA, wifi connected, IR remote handset. But 
months away yet.


Cheers Grahame
