Hi Gerry,

15/60s are pretty common.  15/120s seem to be special order items.  The 
15/60s do show up on E-bay pretty often.  15/60s can be ordered new off the 
net for about $120 plus shipping.  Of course, the trick is to get them 
free.  If you are willing to pay for them, things get much 
easier.  Probably your best bet is to ask here on the list for people 
wishing to sell them.  Expect to pay about $35 for shipping too.  The 
problem is rarely finding transformers.  The problem is usually finding 
"free" transformers ;-)  You are competing against people like this:

If one can buy say 5 new ones at a time, then one can throw one's weight 
around at a wholesale distributor.  You just tell them you are from TWF 
Power Electronics and need them to repair a plasma ion depletion processor 
while holding a couple of hundred dollar bills :o)))  But things are 
getting tough with the new UL standards so finding non-GFI ones may get harder.

Cheers,

         Terry
