"PAF’s"
"PAF’s"
These are available with a 2-week or less lead time. I usually have the standard zebra butyrate bobbins pre-wound and often the necessary parts on hand to configure them to order, but for some options a little extra time is required. Contact me with your needs.
All specs share the same basic late 50’s PAF architecture, but in graduated output levels to suit your application. These are very dynamic and full of character. Priced individually to mix and match.
