I am looking for a transformer with an output of 6 volts, and 1.8 amps, or any transformer that can run that cycle. Please, let me know. I've been looking for months now, and cannot find anything. Please help. Where would I buy it? Lowes?
If you don't find it you have got to make it. This is a common transformer. Probably you are finding difficulty with it's current rating.
Just use half of a 12.6V, center-tapped transformer. These are everywhere. Look on DigiKey, Mouser, Allied, or Newark. If you want to drive to a store and get it, look for your nearest Radio Shack or electronics supply store. And as said above, anything with current rating of greater than 1.8 Amps will work. Yeah, you get 6.3V instead of 6. But if you're looking for a perfectly accurate and regulated 6VAC, a transformer is not what you want. A transformer's output voltage can vary as much as 10-15% under different input and load conditions.
