that's cheap for a 1.2MW transformer! Maybe they could do a 1.21 jiggawatt transformer for this old delorean I'm trying to fix |

It was a very good phone line (cheers Martin), i think you been out of the loop for 15 years. Please check your facts before you post a comment and check there website. St Ives windings was there old name and have now changed & also now have two - three sites in England and are still going strong. SEE BELOW:----- Classic Audio Transformers and InductorsOur classic range of audio transformers and Inductors are world renowned and integral to many prominent professional pre-amp and mixer manufacturers. These continue to be hand-built at our St. Ives site, which was formerly St. Ives Windings. Featured types include balanced input and output transformers for maximum noise rejection at low signal levels, high level output transformers, impedance matching audio input transformers and tapped audio inductors. As well as the classic range we also work alongside our customers to develop variations of these products for other applications. Smaller quantities of these parts are available from our specialist distributor. Edited by simonp1100 - 18 February 2020 at 7:11am |

I believe they're part of Carnhill Transformers now. I do repairs for them from time to time on their equipment.

Yes Kevin you are correct.
We get all our works transformers from them (about 700 a year) as well as a few C-Audio ones every now and then. Had a few RA3001's, RA4001's, XR3801's & SR707's transformers from them over the past few years, well made and as always perfect. Say hello to Martin for me.

Had a quick message from Kevin this afternoon for those interested in the 808. She is on the road to recovery. The parts Steve posted for me have been fitted, not a simple task by all accounts. Just waiting on the arrival of some new parts to be able to test properly and she will be ready.
Thank you to all involved, my ears cant wait, but my back is not overly impressed at the thought.

Hi,I bought the working sr808 off of service dept Steve and it is in exceptional condition. A very tidy unit and quiet fans too. The question I have which after trawling through all the old questions that have been asked again and again is, does anyone have a spec/service/user manual or is this a thing of secret!! I would like to know what to do in respect to the I/P side requirements voltage/sensitivity to set up correctly. I got this to power two fane Xb scoop bins so it will have an easy life. My other amplifiers are all old Harrison xi 1000's which take very little I/P to give quite fast gain on the o/p. At the moment the sr808 is set on stereo.,would there be more benefit to run in bridge mode? So many questions...

The fact that you have just purchased it from service dept Steve,surely that question should be directed at him? He must have one he could photocopy for you? |

Be seeing you.

I agree about asking Steve , I'm hopefully meeting up with him soon but I couldn't pm him directly as I've had to start speakerplans from scratch again as well as e.mail and bank accounts due to as sky say...somethings happened! I did go through every post I could find on the 808 but couldn't find the answer. I did e.mail Steve to say I'd asked on Midas's post about it. I would have posted this on newbie if there wasn't a post about the 808 here. thanks anyway.

To my knowledge there is no circuit diagram for the SR808 & the circuit for the SR707 is the nearest you will get to this.
The SR808 uses the same circuit as the SR707 with just more output devices and a higher transformer voltage everything else is the same (physicaly different relays and caps but electronically the same). Hope this helps.
