    Default Champ guitar amp

    Anyone have any ideas as to where I can get a power transformer for a early Fender Champ 5F1?

    Do you have the old one, it can probably be rewound or an equivelent sourced from wagner electronics in Ashfield

    I have these transformers in my blackface twin....they are used by lots of boutique amp builders in the states.

    Thanks guys
    I have some mercury tramsformers for another build (when the new shed is up )
    I was after a local equivalent. I have an old Zenith record player that I coverted to a champ circuit while I was in the US. and now I'm after a 240volt power trannie to swap out the old 115volt one. A cheapy would be the best way for me with this old clunker.
