I actually did find an OG output transformer but the guy wants boat money for it. More worried about a power transformer at the moment. Using this site (questionable?)https://thesubjectmatter.com/calcptcurrent.html

I come up with this:
  • Selected transformer voltage: 275-0-275

  • Calculated voltage at first capacitor (B+): 352V. Subtract 6V, if using choke.​

  • Calculated filament current (typically the 6.3v secondary): 2.79A

  • Calculated current: 106.81mA at 8000R load (10% plus factored in). Preamp valves current draw is estimated at typical 12AX7 max dissipation of 1.2W at 330V, i.e. 3.6mA per triode
Any thoughts?
 
yes, Power transformer needs to supply 5v for 5u4b rectifier, how does everything else look? Probably enough room for multiple transformers too.

Found these:
720v CT @ 120ma dc
5vac @ 3amp
6.3 @3.5amps

720 too high?

How soon do you need the unit to work ?

Hammond 291AEX ; 325-0-325 or 275-0-275 at 100 mA, 6.3V CT at 2,25A, 5.0V at 3A

The center tap is connected to ground , so the filament has less hum...
