Theres a place out here in chicagoland that has a OPT that should cover that amp well.
According to the Vox AC4 schematic I have, You need a 5K primary & a 3 ohm secondary.
This Transformer Should cover that fairly well.
Also comes in 2 mounting configuations,
I have used a couple of these and have no complaints on a couple of homebrew guitar amps for my brother.
Interestingly.
For $15 plus S&H not a bad replacement option.

TF103-48 is now available with EITHER 2 3/8 inch mounting hole centers (fits silverface & blackface Champs from 60's & 70's) and 2 inch mounting hole centers (fits later model Champs). Check the distance between the transformer mounting bolts on your amp before ordering.

This latest version now includes a screen tap for optional pseudo-triode "ultralinear" operation. If you don't need it, just tape up the extra wire.

Hey Tubelab,
Have you seen or tryd the new opt they are carrying now?
This type of transformer can be used with many tube types, such as pairs of 807, 6L6, KT66, EL34, push-pull parallel (quads) of 6V6's or EL84 and others. Intended for push-pull use. May be used with tubes wired for pentode, triode, or "ultralinear" pseudo-triode operation.
Max DC per side (suggested) 100 ma.
That Looks to me to be about the best value in a guitar OPT I have sen in some time! Especially concidering the warranty.
35 bucks plus SH,, NICE

Transformers
I have used their SE transformers, and their cool new universal driver transformers. Look for an H bridge amp on my web site in the coming months using that transformer. I have not needed any PP transformers recently.
I bought 200 surplus Schumaker PP transformers when ADA went under, and haven't used them all up yet. I have been putting them into everything except high end stereo amps with good results. There is even a pair of them in my 300Beast 300B PP stereo amp.
I need a SE transformer that can handle over 100 watts, work on 2000 volts and have high end specs for an 833A stereo amp. You don't buy these at Wal-Mart. I had a transformer winder make me a custom transformer, but the prototype rolled off at 17KHz. I guess I will just have to build myself that 200 Watt SE guitar amp after all, since I only have one of these. The prototype amp sounded absolutely wicked.
