> 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
