Yes, I'm sure that would work fine and keep the output tubes happy. Would it sound as good as some of the other transformer choices?
It's M6 (35ga I believe) versus the M19 (26ga) that the Vintage-spec Tonesluts and Pacifics are, or the M27 that the earlier Tonesluts were, so that will have a bearing. I'm not sure how the interleave will differ but the Stancors that the Tonesluts and Pacifics were based on were 'odd', as it has been described.

You'd also lose your 4ohm tap if that's important to you.

It'd be an interesting experiment though.
