rebirth of an old good FENDER TWIN REVERB 135W

Post by sonolive »

hi guys

i am looking for a power transformer for a Twin reverb 135W (or BASSMAN 135)
original fender reference : 013830

i am looking for the "export model" with multiple input voltages, in fact 220V is enough ;-)

any track ? thx in advance ...

Mercury Magnetics are very expensive but they perform very well.

it does seem a bit much for 135 watts. there must be a fender amp tweakers thread somewhere.on one of the many music gear forums.
it is just a transformer after all. There is probably an off the shelf replacement if you knew the secondary voltage and true VA rating.

thx guys,

mercury magnetics are way too expensive, even if i am sure they perform very well ...

in fact i would like a used one ! something like 70/80 euros ...

for anyone looking for a new replacement one: better prices are here :
