Peter W Dahl Company, Manufacturers of Custom Transformers, Going Out of Business

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
