That one will work as well as the AC30 replacement from Hammond.Depending where you are,getting an OT from Hoffman may be a good idea.He has the 35 watt Fender style OT's that have the right loading for a 4-EL84 amp.

See Doug transformer page

http://www.hoffmanamps.com/MyStore/catalog/parts1.htm

look to the 022848 that is the same destination transformer, only it has 4ohm output instead of multitap

$45.00 is a good price  :wink:

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.  I definitely want a multi tap but I am still contemplating between a 36 and 18 watt build.  If I go the 18 route I will definitely use Dougs Heybors.  I usually buy all my parts from Doug.
