Title: Would a Classic Tone 40-18019 work for a 5E3 amp?

Here is a link to the "specs":

It says Champ but it seems that all the voltage taps are there for a 5E3.

70mA on the HT winding is a bit lightweight. In my 5E3 the 6V6s are already idling at 72mA.

Also, if you try to put that PT in a 5E3 chassis that has a cutout for a 5E3 PT, you may have complications.

Thank you, wishful thinking on my part apparently.
