RE: ELECTRAPRINT Single-Ended Output Transformers, DIY Modifications

Some steel bolts can be magnetic. I used to think a better and higher grade "stainless steel" is non-magnetic but I changed my mind after reading this article.

I am sure most "real" stainless steel would be non-magnetic but I am a little doubtful of the ebay ones from HK and China and some local hardware store.

Even when they are non-magnetic; they are still conductive.

I mostly skid steel and brass hardware on transformers whenever I can. Nylon and plstics bolts are quite strong for transformers and you won't screw up the lams and windings with over torqueing them. And they are excellent when you want to electrically isolate the transformers from the main chassis. I always try to isolate the OPT from the chassis ground in audio stuff.
