I heard a rumor that MM doesn't use Kraft paper as an insulator in their transformers - they use $20 bills......![Smile](https://music-electronics-forum.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
I'm all for buying American, but these guys need to drop their prices about 40% to be competitive with other American transformers. The largest cost in a transformer is the steel and the copper, and these materials are just as inexpensive in the US as overseas. I work for a company that sells steel for transformers and motors. I've also toured transformer factories, and understand the build process.
