The latest is that it may be a butchered early 250 - photos have been sent to Naim for them to comment, so I'll keep you all updated. Shame, as I was rather fancying a dual mono 160 now I know about them.
We cannot see the photo.
It's a particular design made by Holden and Fisher but like anything else, it's a manufactured item and it can be copied. Any trafo manufacturer will make a faithful copy if you take them the details for the old one, there are no unobtanium parts. H&F trafos are regarded rather like Faberge eggs around here, and they may have something prticular to their design but it's not impossible to rplicate.Is there anything special about the original 160 transformer, or could I get 2 new made up from say Canterbury Windings to make up a pair of mono 160s? Finding an original is proving to be elusive.
Connection wise, it looks the same as my bolt down 250, so yes, the name plate seems rather at odds with what is presented. The mains connector is called a Cannon type, and though still available, they are only NOS.
Other than it's only drilled for four transistors.
