Re: Edcor Transformers for Trainwreck Express

I ended up liking the red pacific iron. They advertised them as 7.5k but they were 6.6k. They have since updated thier web page. There are 2 sets of secondaries 285 and 300v , I think. Supposedly they're identical to he American made version. I have no complaints.

Trainwreck repair video. Authentic or clone ?

I've seen this video and wondered if it was an original?? If it's an original, it's been messed with, the bias circuitisnt wired in lol. If it's a clone does anyone know the builder? I'm sure it's quite unlikely to be real but it seems someone took some pains squiring some of the same parts Ken seem...

They are relling me that the spec sheets had typos and they were 6.6k all along. someone inquired recently and they corrected the spec sheet to say 6.6k Eventually I'll get the chance to test mine a...

I missed what you were saying but saw that in another thread. I talked to a guy at Pacific who said the 7.5k was a typo . He sent me this Pic and another guy who has some has tested and verified it.

Re: pacific output trans

I talked to Justin Richardson at Pacific when I inquired. He is saying they've been 6.6k all along and it was a typo in the spec sheet that read 7.5k
Glad to see someone has verified this.
I bought my red set late last year..

Re: pacific output trans

The red series is definitely an oversees product according to them. Thry say it's identical to the Californian ones... I should get around to testing mine. I do like the sound , a lot. But having no other experience with wrecks I'm left wondering if the proper 6.6k would be better lol. And the skept...

I sent off an email and didn't get a response so I sent another this morning: Hello there. I think I previously sent an email to you regarding my purchase. But I think I...
