Re: [AH] Looking for an OB-8, OB-SX, or OB-XA power transformer

I replaced my dead transformer in my OB-Sx with two toroids, one for the 
+/-15V and one for the +/-5V. Fitted nicely (in the OB-Sx) and doesn't 
hum like the original used to do.

I ditched the voltage selector switch on the back and added an rear 
mounted fuse holder. Supply voltage can still be selected by moving 
wires around on the Wago block I added to neatly and safely distribute 
the mains to both transformers.

It's not as easy as using a direct replacement but it's another option 
if you don't mind a bit of hacking and are happy with mains wiring.
