Line Voltage Bucker

Hey fellows, I need help building this line voltage reducer.

I am having trouble sourcing the transformer. I think I may have found the transformer I need to reduce my line voltage by 10VAC, but I'm not sure. I have 6.78VAC on my filament. I assume dropping the mains by 10V will still have my amp around 6.2VAC. I'm trying to shed some B+ voltage.

Mouser part #553-F-31X

Will that transformer do it? If you know of a better one that I can wire to switch from a 5V reduction to a 10V reduction I'd rather use it.

I used this. Allows 6 down or 12 down.

Thank you! This is twice I have seen this transformer suggested now. I may end up buying it, but I need to buy the enclosure from mouser, as well as some other parts for this project and parts for my amp. I'd like to save on shipping by buying a transformer from mouser.

Do you know if the transformer I listed will work? 10V is perfect for my amp if my math is right.

It will work.
