I blew the transformer in my Epiphone Valve Junior Head (Version 3). I want to replace the transformer, but am wondering if an upgrade is possible without spending the $300 on a Mercury Magnetics set.

I've found this transformer, http://store.triodestore.com/tf65wscta48opaper.html , and am wondering if it would do the trick. I need a transformer with three outputs (4, 8, and 16 ohms), and as this states it is for an amp "...less than 25W...", can I use this transformer in my amp? I'd hate to blow it up again!

Any other recommendations for a good transformer for a VJ on a budget?
