I need this transformer and can't seem to find a replacement anywhere. Does anyone know a service that can repair or make one?
Here's a picture of the transformer, it says on top D.M transformers 110v.

You can try Heyboer transformers. They make custom transformers, most likely can rewind them too, and are great quality and price.
I have purchased from them twice and was really happy with the results.
Do you know the output voltage and current?
I'm guessing its 24v but I'm not really sure how to test it.
If its 110 to 24v low current its garden variety $5 stepdown. What's the application?
It's for a strapping machine, it's used for a hot knife inside the machine. it seems to be a very basic transformer but I can't find one with those copper output leads. I just called a packing supplies company and they wanted $450 for one which is kind of ridiculous.
Does the hot knife have any voltage markings? If it's really 24v a generic should work. You sure it's the transformer? they rarely fail.
If this is just a power supply transformer, it will almost certainly be cheaper to just purchase a replacement. The only transformers worth re-winding (or, rather, paying someone to rewind) are specialty transformers such as the output transformers on a tube amp.
Well, one company wanted $219 for a replacement, I'm not sure how much companies charge to rebuild one.
Do you know the specs on the unit?
