Probably just as well you lost that bid. It would have been a very cumbersome and inefficient way to get the power supply you need on the cheap. But if you really want to do it that way, I'll give you a full flat rate box of transformers equivalent to Signal 241-6-16, which are 16 VCT at
2A. Just send me $10 by PayPal and I'll send you as many as will fit in the box. I have at least 100 pieces surplus. They are a little rusty but work fine. You can hook them up FWCT and get about 10-12 VDC at 2A from each, and you can add them up in series to get any voltage you want. I'll also throw in a bag of 100 1N4004 diodes. Same offer for anyone else. I need to get rid of them, along with about 1/2 ton of other parts. Some are listed onBut I still wonder why you are trying so many different approaches. I gave you links to some good deals on transformers and switching supplies. Why don't you buy one of these switching supplies from this guy:
You should have been at the HamFest in Timonium this past weekend. Some of the vendors had nice switching supplies, linear supplies, and transformers that would work for your needs, for only a few dollars, and trash cans full of freebies that were being hauled to the dump with a front end loader. It's a shame what gets thrown out, but the expense to advertise on eBay and then ship especially heavy stuff is just prohibitive. And now it costs a lot for these guys to load down their vans and drive 100-200 miles to sell $50 of stuff in a day.
Two years ago I bought a 5 HP motor-generator set designed to teach motor fundamantals, and they can be wired in various ways. They were about 200 lb each, and I bought them for $30 each. If there is a HamFest near you, that's the place to go for bargains, and also to meet other people who have solid experience and/or wild and crazy ideas. Find your most local one at:
