Any chance somebody knows of a place that makes one-off custom high frequency (~15khz) transformers? I've wound my own transformers before by hand, and also done epoxy potting. Since I lack a winding machine, it was incredibly tedious to do it by hand and the results were not as cleanly wound as a machine wound transformer. Also, not having a vacuum chamber for the epoxy potting... my potting results ended up with tiny air bubbles, which is also not ideal.

A Google search shows dozens of custom transformer companies. I will contact them, but I worry that they will all only be interested in corporate customers that want to order at least a few thousand copies.

Bev Farnsworth Philo ‘s wife will dispute that comment.

Good read this thread.
The dispute is historic. I think they both simultaneously invented electronic TV, but Zworykin accomplished much more... and Zworykin's book is amazing. If Farnsworth wrote a textbook on TV, I'd read it too. If it helps spark more controversy, I will repeat that RCA was the top TV company in the golden age of television. Zenith made amazing TVs, no doubt, but RCA provided more technological leadership.
