Russ and  all the other transformer intelligentia on this list.

I have in my  hands an assembly containing two HAMMOND
(made in Canada) transformers  which show an apparent model
number MRI 3002.  I was told by a very  respected engineer that
they were an equal or better substitute for the  WE-111 transformer.
They certainly are smaller in physical size.
Your  comments please.



Hello Bob:
 
I am aware of that manufacturer however, have not had any recallable  
experience with the products. Is this in a line amplifier?
 
The 111C was a brute force product that really did a great job for what it  
was intended in its time.
 
I marvel at those who make claims that we have a newer, smaller less costly  
model, that when those products are placed under the scrutiny of a proper  
microscope, often have serious shortcomings that the builder never even thought  
of!
 
That is my age and experience showing....
