OK I will admit that I am quite shocked that so few people want these....guess most of you guys are just too lazy huh.....or just don't realize how much these go for normally....

O well...I'll go ahead and see what price I can get for 6 only....

i can only answer for myself, andré. but i don't see a reason for a beat like that and the advantages it offers over a good 300W step-down transformer. i've gathered A LOT OF transformers over the last couple of years on ebay (must be around 20) and i never paid more than 25 euros for one, most of the time much less. they are of great quality, well built and can be easily put inside the cabs, so no need of placing them outside. but that's just my 2 cents and the reason why i'm not jumping on your offer. nevertheless, it's always a great effort when someone organizes a group buy for the community, so i wish you good luck for this!!!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Thanks for the moral support guys !
....it really doesn't matter of course, it just makes it easier/lighter for me ;)

I'm expecting the price to land around €25 each but I was trying to stay on the safe side.....I mailed my source....let's wait for the final price.

If anyone still interested, not too late to jump in the tub yet ;)

Well my cabs are all 220v enabled but these transformers do look nice.... Too bad I still have a 'couple' of spares laying around  ;D

Is it too late to order 2?

Before I confirm, could you explain how this is mounted into the cabinet please?
Is it really easy?

Is the goal to transform a 110V cabinet into a 220V cabinet?

Thx
Baptiste

Not too late.

Yes that is the idea Baptiste. I will draw a little schematic and explain how it works a bit later this evening.
If you can cut and strip a wire you are good to go.

Ok great, thank you very much!
Even if it's not complicated, it's always good to see how it works one time.

If noob questions are allowed, I just shoot a working Hantarex MTC 900E monitor with tube, which works with 110V afaik.
Can I use these transformers somehow to hook this monitor up to a 220V cab?

Yes. It's both isolating and converting the 230VAC to 110VAC.  ;D

It was pulled out from a working but badly water damaged Super Hang-On, if I can use it as a replacement in my Zaccs, I would keep it, otherwise I will sell it. :D

is it doing this all at the same time? I have a spare 25" K7000a monitor that runs @ 110V AND needs to be isolated with an isolation transformer. This one item does the job?

Put me on for 1 then

Yes sir it does :)

In fact you can also use it as an isolation transformer for safety (like when testing mains stuff) because it can also do 230v to 220v..(maybe simply 1:1 or 230VAC to 230 VAC bit the specs I got say 220 VAC out.

You're on the list :) The seller is awfully quite though since I posted him the expected number of units....I think I'll call him today.
