JCM800 2203 does it need a new OT?

nic	JCM800 2203 does it need a new OT? My guitar player just got his JCM800 from ebay the other day. When he got to practice he promptly pulled the JCM900 of the cab and put the 800 in it's place and fired her up. No sound. I promptly yelled at him to turn it off, NO LOAD! When we plugged in the cab and turned it back on there was some LOUD hum. Then no sound. I swapped the tubes with those in the 900 same story. Now all the 800 does is remain really quiet unless you hit the strings really hard. Then it sounds all buzzy and nasty. I suspect that I need to put in a new OT. Antique Electronic Supply has 'em for $75. Should I pick up some other supplies for it? Thanks in advance,
