How OC are you?

... I had the same issue a few years back with a Fisher 400, and was lucky enough to find a pair of OTs. The originals from my unit are in boxes waiting to to be shipped off to TRS in Maine. Like the other poster said, having two that were possibly very different wouldn't fly, but I still can't let myself send them off, having just had to do a PT rewind on a Sherwood S5000 (which, as usual, looks perfect and I'm eager to put it back in). The price from the rewinder I've used twice now would prob be in the $350 ballpark (or more) for the Fisher OTs, so it's not exactly cheap to me, but the quality of the work I've had done makes it a good value.

It's a decision I made without consciously realizing it years ago, that keeping the equipment up and running for the long run is worth more to me than having to replace it. Also, the prices on this stuff keeps going UP, so you're probably staying even with the price you could get for it if you ever need or want to sell (at least, to anyone but a hard-core collector).
