5E3 Transformer

Robert	5E3 Transformer I wrote earlier that my 5E3 was not working, bad hum no guitar sound coming thru, Rectifier tube has strong glow. Brought it to a Tech and he suspectd that the Output Transformer is faulty. If this is the culprit, are there any good replacements available that will not require any modification to the chassis, in other words, a drop in exact replacement? Failing that route, what is involved in rewinding? Anyone in particular that does this and is reliable/ Thanks, Robert
