Transformer replacement - Patrick - 07-16-2015

Finally ran into a bad power transformer. Can I use this Silvertone transformer to replace the Zenith? Looks like all I'd need to do is run the secondary centertap to the negative sides of the filter caps instead of ground. The voltages look close.

If the high voltage is close and the transformer will physically fit, it will work just fine.
