I cannot get a response from the specific area for this. Can anyone recommend a good tech in the southern U.S. to get in touch with. My 2008 OTS 50 watt has blown yet another power transformer. I cannot get a straight answer about exactly which part is the replacement one from Ceriatone and local techs are stumped. I have tried 3 from the list on Ceriatone's service center site and they no longer are doing it. Please help. I need to be able to speak to someone who is reputable and knows want they are doing,
Please
This reply may be too late but thought I'd answer anyway.
You can use the following transformer. You must remove the bottom cover to fit the chassis cutout.

Fender
reissue twin reverb transformer would need to be wired differently.
You will also need a transformer for the relay circuit since the twin reverb transformer doesn't have the extra 6.3 volt tap.
This one fits in the pre drilled holes of the chassis. Should be in stock at the local store.
