I was thinking about that... If you knew where to just get the raw
components (yoke "plastic", ferrites, wire) you could probably "contract it
out" to any EE's with 9 to 14 year old kids to hand wind them. Even if you
pay them $20 each it'd still be cheap. (I always got stuck picking damn
cherry's or strawberry's when I was a kid-- winding transformers would be
cool! Better than stitching soccer balls or tennis shoes for Kathy Lee...
;-)

Most of the "pro" places are probably figuring they'll need to configure a
machine, *not* be doing something else more profitable with the machine
while the video-nerd's puny little 100 piece run goes, they have to buy raw
materials for 500-1000 when you only want 100, etc. (So they charge a
bunch.)
