On his web site Keith Snook has nice things to say about the replacement Quad II output transformers made by Majestic.
Has anyone bougth a set recently? My enquiries have not produced a response, so I wonder if anyone else has had better luck?

I've fitted them, and I have a Quad II choke on order right now. Very good products.
They are very busy ... keep trying.

I had also seen the recommendation from Keith Snook, and I think they were name checked by Patrick Turner. I contacted them to have a price for a replica of the transformers used in a Brimar 25SP1 amp. They did manage to find the specification and quoted a price, which was fair.
My family lives in Dorset, and I was travelling through Poole on a weekday, so I thought I would pop by and see what they had available (and save some international postage and VAT to boot). The factory is actually tucked away in a residential area, so GPS is required! Unfortunately the Audio stuff seems to be mostly wound on request, and when I called they had nothing on the shelves. But it was nice to see the professional setup, and the large industrial transformers that must be their bread and butter.
I need to finish some projects, but hope to build that 25P1 at some point, and would use them if I did.

Wow! Tucked is right. Looks like they started a motor-company in a field (perhaps for war-work) and a shed for transformers, then later sold-off the front, back, and both side yards for a housing shortage.
I bought a custom transformer from them recently. Took multiple emails (emails seemed to get lost for a while) and phone calls, all perfectly civil, and a few months, but now have a nice power transformer.
I typed a reply but don't see it here. I emailed, then had to phone them a few days later to chivvy them a bit. Quotes were reasonable, not Toroidy prices but maybe comparable when the Supreme Toroidy is compared (i.e. both candidates suitable for a top plate).
I emailed em just before Xmas about a custom tfmr, it took about a month or more to get a reply if I remember right. Both Majestic and Primary Windings are very busy and are basically a bloke inna shed type operation which you have to take into account. Also unless they have your tfmr on the shelf expect to wait a few months for them to wind it.
I rate them highly for transformers and chokes. Been using them for 20+ years. Custom designs which all mine are get codes and now 20 years on I can reorder a custom by a unique code printed on the choke/transformer . But at the moment, be prepared to wait a considerable time as I'm doing plus shipping to NZ in my case.
Thanks for the replies. To date I’ve sent them three direct emails and have also filled out their web contact form twice, but no response.
Ever heard of a telephone? Ask for Kevin Arnold. They're busy people. If it's a serious enquiry, talk to them.
