Vox AC15TB power transformer

[Burnedfingers]

Any recommendations for a power transformer for this 1995 VOX AC15TB U guitar amp? Its not mine but belongs to a friend that borrowed it from his father in law and had the misfortune of having the power tranformer primary windings short out.

I have found out that VOX no longer makes a replacement power transformer but Hammond has PN 290PX for $85 plus shipping. Its supposted to be a replacement for the VOX but is only rated for 92mA. Is this a little low for a current rating?

Can the original be re-wound or a better transformer be found?

There is a supplier here in the UK that offers an AC15 power transformer, which looks close to the original. It is rated at 120mA.

Valve Transformer VT1503

Thanks for your reply. The transformer you have a link to is for the older AC15 guitar amplifier and doesn't match up to the transformer used in the newer 1995 era amplifier.

I would remove the faulty transformer and any transformer manufacturer that knows his salt will rewind it for you.

So who does rewinding now days?

I'm planning to make a Matchless Spitfire (similar to AC15) with a Hammond 372BX. 300-0-300, 5V 2A and 6.3V 3A. There's also a 50V bias tap. I've no idea if it would fit the AC15 though.
