One thing that puzzles me when I look at transformer prices and
styles. Something like the Allanson Uni-tran, of which I often used
many, seems to be a more economical design yet the ceramic terminal
style is cheaper. It's not - when you take into consideration time and
additional needed material - but the point is per unit, it is. Is
this because the 'frankenstein' style is more popular?
I would think that it could be possible to produce a smaller version
meant to house 7.5k and 9k at a price not much over 50% of a 15K.
Some other time, someone will have to explain why a hanger costs so
much.
