Once again,
Maybe I have just been lucky with the units I have received, but I have not had any merc. migration with the CPI transformers I have used (I'll be watching the signs I have out there a bit closer now, with the migration concern).

And if I recall... the 6K and 10K models are rated at 35ma., and the 12K at 43ma.

I always had good luck with Allanson in the past also.
