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.

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