The unit in the eBay ad looks lovely and I might not be able to build it myself for $80-90 bux, **if** I could find the perfect toroid... so it seems a decent value.
It may be crazy but I can buy the top-o'-the-line doorbell/ annunciator/ thermostat transformerfor $20 bux- the universal voltage for all the world's doorbells being 16 volts, oddly enough. The top of the range is 20 watts on the nameplate. They look like garden-variety E-I type transformers. To save embarrassment I might hide it in an attractive project box behind the rig tho... don't want anybody to mistake my sophisticated HiFi for the furnace! Powered by NuTone, baby!
