Thanks Chuck! Kinda figured that. Icon_sad But already have the old one out which wasn't original to begin with and another from a parts set ready to go. Icon_smile Didn't like the one that was on there anyway. Someone had changed it and swapped the 84 rectifier for a 5Y3. The bad transformer was a 250-0-250 which I was told would work but the new one I'm putting on it is a little bigger and is 350-0-350. Had to remove 1/4" of chassis on the length but otherwise a good fit.
