http://www.transformerdesignandsupply.com/ This is the closest you can get. These guys makes original trannies for Matchless amps and Hot Cat Amps (I just copy pasted this from Stray Cat related thread) :)

Kitarist, thanks..  You know I redid my math and decided it was cheaper to go with Nik's transformers even if the shipping is higher than buy in the US at $350-400 a set.  I can always upgrade later.

Nik's iron is great.  I put West Labs in and they sound great too, but I honestly do not hear a difference.

  Hi all, West Labs do not build for Matchless, we do. We are Transformer Design and Supply, and we designed all the original Matchless transformers. West Labs sells copies of our designs, I do not know who he has building them. I offer a discount to anyone who orders direct and mentions Ceriatone forum. We can also build transformers for any of Nik's amps, these are hefty units- all of them are our own designs- if we don't already build them we will design them and offer an excellent first edition price in exchange for honest feedback. WE ONLY BUILD OUR OWN DESIGNS- no knockoffs. We do this because we stand behind everything we build. Every transformer we build is designed with robust design principles, and hand built to last a lifetime. Check us out, you may love our prices too. We really try to keep our customers happy. We have happy customers worldwide. We have been in business since 1970. We offer a money back guarantee... NO ONE has ever sent back our transformers yet. Everyone loves them, all over the world! All the best! Bob, TDS
