Be aware that Edcor transformers are made-to-order, to cut down on costs.
Expect to wait roughly 4 weeks, from time of order, to time of delivery.
In my book, Edcor's GXSE single ended output transformers....'might'.... be THE best bang-for-yer-buck OPT's out there?

I have waited this long! How are their PP transformers? The first amp I plan to build is a single ended 6V6 amp (Low powered, simple and relatively safe). I will use it for my computer. After that I want to try PP.

Hand-wound to order, they have very nice fit and finish. They have a line of standard builds, but I recall that they would do complete custom winds. They take 2-3 weeks to get to your door. Great LF performance, too (hey, when it's *maybe* 3-4 wpc, you need every bit).
Along those lines, I also looked at the James transformers, and lots of people have reported good results, but I like dealing with small shops in the US.
Prices are reasonable and they have vintage replacements.

I replaced the original PP output transformers on an old Magnavox #8802 6V6 PP console amp, with larger Edcor PP output transformers.
Certainly an improvement, especially in bass response.
