I've almost given up on Hammond as a source, not only are their prices higher then competing products, but they seem to exhibit an indifference to the mechanical needs of antique radio restoration by doing things like this. For example, the bulk of their replacement power transformers are vertical mounted, whereas most vintage radios have horizontal mounted transformers that fit into a sqaure hole in the chassis. About the only ones I've seen that are horizontal mounted are marketed towards those rebuilding guitar amps, and I saw those on the AES website, not in the Hammond catalog, so I am not sure if Hammond made them or not.
