I ordered a Fender reverb driver (022921, 037099 style) from Amplified Parts in October and it is still on backorder as it is with many other online stores. I see some price gouging going on due to the shortage presumably caused by Classictone going away. Does anybody have a source that sells replacements that work for reasonable prices? I need several of these for repairs and builds but can't stomach paying $37++ to get one. I hope somebody fills this gap.
Thanks!

Not saying backordered, but you never know.
Looks like a shortage

X2, AES has a P-T1750A in stock for 19 bucks.

Options expand (as well as tone) if you're willing to consider push pull drive.

Yep. Kinda like this. I think I used 22k on a Hammond 125 for the primary. Overkill but that's what was on hand. You can use a very small transformer as the D.C. current is nulled. Sounds more 3D.
Search this site and London Power for examples.

Re: Fender reverb driver source?
Hello,
I am currently designing a preamp with reverb and vibrato that uses circuits that were not intended for guitar but sound great. The reverb section is a clone of the Motorola Vibrasonic which used a very unusual reverb tank that is nearly impossible to find at a reasonable cost. I decided to use a Belton long decay tank and for the driver I'm using a 70v line matching transformer. My initial bench test confirmed it works well. The driver amp uses a 12L6GT single ended and one triode of a 12SN7GT. The primary is the 1.25W tap and the secondary the 8 ohm tap fed into the reverb tank. 70V line matching transformer provide a number of taps than may be able to used for your project. What primary is required for your circuit?
