I don't know a whole lot about making transformers but the homebrewer
in me absolutely cringes at the words "individual homebrew fellow just
can't do it". I would think with all of the amateurs out there, someone
would be able to come up with a somewhat reproducible system for making
quality transformers. Heck, my "American can-do-it-attitude" almost
makes me want to try it just to prove that statement wrong. :-)
Or I could just be a sentimental old (really a young) fool...
