1971 Gibson G40 transformer question

Post by POWDOG »

Hey guys. Someone just dropped off a couple amps, most of which are junk. One is a very clean Gibson G40 from early '70s. Everything there except the power tranny. Schematic shows 35vdc after a bridge rectifier. Don't really work with solid state stuff, so I don't know what transformer I should be looking for. 117 primary/35 secondary? Any help appreciated!

The secondary needs to be more like 25VAC.
