Long story but I ended up with this Midwest 98 while getting a 41-255.
 The transformer is toast so I need to find a replacement. It came with a 24R13U which is totally bad. Interesting radio - full of WW2 surplus parts. 
Pretty easy restoration once I find the transformer.

I would try AES, look at the power transformers listed for guitar amps if you need one that is horizontal mounted, or even if not.
