Peter W Dahl Company, Manufacturers of Custom Transformers,
Going Out of Business (Dec 7, 2007) --
The Peter W. Dahl Company in El Paso, Texas, will be closing its
doors as of December 31, 2007, according to Peter Dahl, K0BIT,
owner and founder of the company that has made custom transformers
for more than 40 years. Dahl, 67, is suffering from Parkinson's
Disease. The company manufactured a wide variety of transformers
and reactors for Amateur Radio and commercial radio and television
applications. According to Dahl, many are direct replacements for
original equipment components that are no longer available from
the manufacturer, while others have general-purpose applications
in any number of different transmitters. He said that they had
more than 4000 individual transformer designs on file. QST
columnist John Dilks, K2TQN ("Old Radio"), said the closing of
the Dahl Company was "sad news for those of us who restore the
big iron." Dahl told the ARRL, "I want to thank everyone for
their business throughout the years. I have enjoyed making each
Amateur Radio transformer." -- Thanks to John Dilks, K2TQN
