Easy!? that represents probably 3 days work and frustration! As with many things, it's one thing at a time until all added up, it's done. Even though that one transformer cost many $$ in time, there is a sense of satisfaction when it's done and it works. There doesn't seem to be a universal replacement for the 96 output transformer that matches at all closely. So, for it to be correct in the impedance area, I have to rewind it. No Doubt, the universal I have would work and no one would hear the difference. That transformer would look ugly sitting on top of the 96 speaker. I've already disassembled the 96 transformer so I have all the windings counted. Hopefully, with the previous practice, this one won't take as long. An advantage of the 96 transformer is that the secondary was inside the primary so I didn't have to unwind it or rewind it. The harder part is that the primary wire is even finer (37 AWG) than the one I just did (35 AWG). That much harder to keep the wire from crossing in the layers. Hopefully it won't go too badly.
