WTB - Tube power transformer

While right in the middle of my 10w PP mono guitar amp project, my power transformer went. It was a chassis mount and the closest Hammond is a Classic 273DZ on 2.25x2.81" mounting holes.

At this point in time I'm willing to use anything that will get me 250-300vdc and a 6v heater just to get the amp running. I'm very limited on chassis room so one transformer is all I can fit. It has to power 2 6V6GTs and 4 12AX7s.

Anyone have something kicking around?
 
Well I measured the bolts they are 3 11/16" x 3". The cut out for the transformer is 3 1/8" x 2 3/8". The transformer model is 300701-1 138008 when googling the model# it brings up a few threads that pertain the the Magnavox amp-185. Closer inspection shows that it only has one 6.3v secondary schematic shows two. I may have to wire this up this weekend and check everything out. It is missing one filament winding. It could be a variation of the transformer. The transformer weighs in at 6.1 pounds.
 
FWIW, it isn't difficult to stand a transformer up. I've used AL angle, maybe .75-1" and cut out the area for the endbells with a file and hacksaw. Now that I've got a dremel, it would be easy! You might need longer screws, but you also might not. I think I might have a similarly modded unit kicking around, but at 360-0-360, it isn't what you are looking for.

It's not that I can't stand it up. This amplifier is going into a Fender 8" practice combo amp that I gutted. I'm pretty tight on space.

nic6paul - That might be a little too big for this project but thanks.

pjanda1 - I think I can just barely squeeze that transformer into the chassis. How much shipped to 60002?
