I'm working on getting parts together to build a Fender Twin-Amp, and I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of power transformer, as well as output transformer would work for my project.

This is the schematic I am working off of: http://www.webphix.com/schematic%20heav ... _schem.pdf
The best I have found for transformers was here:

I was wondering if anyone was more familiar with transformers than I am.

Here's the Mercury Magnetic's sub (from Beyond Eleven site). If you go Merc Mag, be sure to get the "high powered" PT (for the four 5881s). NOT the "low powered" one (two 6L6G).

Any particular reason you are building the 80 watt version vs. the 40 watt which is plenty loud and breaks up earlier and more easily?
