I am looking for a replacement interstage transformer for the Gibson BR-9 amplifier

original Gibson part number T-1011-D . turns ratio is 2.4 : 1

any transformer with similar ratio and a small size would be suitable

Thanks !

A-20's have taps for 500:200  = 2.5:1  Would that work well enough?

I don't think it would fit the chassis. Limited space is available. also the impedance is probably not optimal for this circuit ?

Is there DC on the primary?

Yes, one side of the primary is connected to the second triode plate and the other side is to a +140v tap from the power supply.
I have attached a schematic



 
Interesting, I was wondering why they used an interstage transformer in a guitar amp.  It is also providing the two phases for the push-pull output stage.  Maybe post this in The Lab instead of Black Market.  I bet CJ will have some input.
 
I have opened a thread on the lab about the amp. I am still looking for these parts
