inexpensive 600/600 ohm AF transformers

First, I have no financial stake in Electronic Goldmine, I'm just a satisfied customer.

?

I needed some transformers for a special project and Electronic Goldmine started offering these.

?Microtran Pico Transformer PM34-M Miniature 600 Ohm C.T. to 600 Ohm C.T. 50mW Rating

"Microtran Pico transformer type PM34-M is a miniature fully encapsulated 50mW rated 600 Ohm C.T. to 600 Ohm C.T. transformer. Frequency response is ±2db 300Hz to 100KHz. Has 6 full length leads. Size only 0.3" x 0.4" x 0.425" tall. New"

Electronic Goldmine offers surplus, new old stock, components and probably doesn't have oodles of these.

?

60Hz appears be just over -3dB. YMWV depending on your system. Short pulses of 1 cycle or 1kHz show minimum ringing.

?

These could be ideal for coupling a computer to a ham/shortwave radio, PA, or other interface needs.

I got that when you brought it up before.

Not bad for communications gear, but for more general audio uses that lower end of the frequency response is pretty pitiful.

I did take a look at their site, lots of interesting junk there. But I really need to deal with the junk I have here first, I think...

I gave quite a few suitable transformers of mixed heritage.
But, I was building a project for a friend and decided using the same transformers would make life easier for someone else down the line, probably long after I'm gone. I even included 4 spare transformers.

Such transformers, with, and without CT, can be recovered from old computer modems add-in cards.

These were new old stock and I didn't have to desolder a bunch of transformers.
I'm as cheap as the next guy, but, at 73 I have to balance the value of my time on this side of the grass against the cost of just buying something and finishing a project that has been hanging on some design changes my friend couldn't decide on, so I decided for him, he can have someone else modify my design if he wants.

Yup, that's where I got a number of them. "Winmodems", which are absolutely useless to me.
