I'm still looking for the p-trans (500c or 800c). Saw a bunch in January on Ebay, but since I decided I needed one, none to be had.
May be a dumb question, but on yours, why the bucking trans? Line voltage too high where you live? I had to run my old Dyna MK3 amps off an adjustable isolation transformer years ago, otherwise it would turn those nice shiny Sprague cans into nice shiny sticks of dynamite! Yea, my line voltage was 127-130v at that time, til a coon blew the house transformer! Funny how much stuff wouldn't work after the power co. changed the trans. I think stuff adapted to the higher voltage. Now, I am around 120-123v.
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
