Can anyone recommend a rewinder? This is for a mains transformer from a jukebox that supplies the amplifier requirements and also the mechanism, so definitely not an off the shelf item. From the early 1960's.

Ed Dinning has done several jukebox transformers for me. Contact him via PM from this forum.

Ed has also rewound several jukebox transformers both mains and output for me.

Mike Barker also rewinds transformers and is a little closer to you.

Either of them should be able to rewind the transformer for you.

I've had both Ed and Mike do rewinding transformers for me, both are excellent.

Which jukebox is it? There are a few new transformers available that may be suitable.

Mike rewound the line transformer in my KB Royal Star. Fantastic job...it will probably outlast me!

Ed did a super job on a custom oscilloscope transformer wind for me, 'scope transformers being notoriously tricky to substitute with a multitude of windings with widely varying voltage and current requirements and some of them requiring several kV isolation from everything else.
