Ron;
No, I did not specify screen grid taps when I ordered, but did identify it as being needed for a Dynakit Stereo-70. Today I received a response back from an engineer with Heyboer and he understood the problem. He did some checking and determined that the order was handled by a relatively new employee. They do indeed provide output transformers for Dynaco/Dynakit amplifiers made the correct way. He said that the one which was shipped to me is a similar unit made for guitar amplifier manufacturers and was on the shelf. He apologized and asked if a refund check would be OK. I told him yes. He said to just keep the wrong transformer. So everything is working out OK for me. It was just an unfortunate human mistake.
In the meantime, I ordered a new transformer from DynakitParts.com along with the new stainless steel chassis plus a hardware kit of screws and nuts for the amplifier. Those are in shipment by UPS as I write this. The new parts will likely arrive later this week.
