I need to know where I can buy a new transformer for a BF Bassman amp.I recently purchased this amp in a pawn shop and had it gone thru by an amp tech,he tells me that the transformer that is in it has been changed and is not the correct one, and this is the reason the amp hummmmms when at idle.He does not know if I can even buy a new one.He said that Fender was his only source for a part like this and dont know if they carry transformers for amps this old.I like my amps to be quiet and have the correct parts if at all possible.A name and no. would be appreciated.
