I have a Vox Pathfinder 10 with a dead mains transformer. Unfortunately I don't know what the specs are for the transformer to order a new one. I am hoping someone else may have one and might measure the secondaries for me.
It's 18-0-18 @ 2amps

OK, to be technical, transformers only produce AC voltage, so no +18 - 0- -18, we have only 18-0-18.
18-0-18 means 18vAC on either side of the center terminal, which is exactly the same as 36v center tapped. They are just two ways of saying the same thing. In each case you have 18vAC at opposite polarities feeding into the rectifiers.
18vAC will rectify and filter up to about 25vDC, and likely they would make both positive and negative. That would be reasonable for a low power amp like this.
