    Fender Concert Power trans replacement

    Hey all
    Anyone replace the PT in a Fender Concert?
    If so do you remember what you used?
    It's pretty basic as you can tell, just need a tap for the bias and switching, the switching looks like it's around 6v.
    I could always tap the HV for bias, but I imagine something for like a Blues DeVille or Hot Rod DeVille would work.

    Just asking what some of you may have used.
    Thanks

    This amp came in labelled "water damage"
    Well as I started taking the chassis out, the rancid smell of burnt tranny was filling my nasal cavities.
    The trans had a major meltdown with the lovely toxic brown muck all over the interior of the amp.

      What concert do you have? "'93 concert"? AB763 Concert? COncert reissue?

      And is the stock transformer not available? What part number is on your dead transformer?

        This one, the '80's Fender Concert (Rivera designed?)
        They made a Concert 93? I've heard of a Concert 83, but not 93.

        Anyway I'd rather not have to touch the melted tranny to search for a P/N# and I haven't pulled it out yet
        as it's incredibly disgusting and I'd like to get the customers approval of an estimate before I dig into the toxic mess.

          Fender made another Concert that was part of their Pro-Tube series (93), and the same amp with 4X10s called a Super.

            Oh yeah, thanks.

            Anyway, the part number is 018302

            I guess none of have ever sourced one then.
            Mercury etc. have expensive replacements.

              18005 might work? Classic Tone has a Bandmaster PT, bias tap, not separate winding. Do the dimensions look close to a Bandmaster PT?

              [edit]

              Maybe this one is better: (for a Hot Rod Deluxe)

                The Allen TP35 looks like it should be a match: Allen Amplification - Parts Order Page
                A bit pricier than the classic tones, but less than the MM's.

                  The '93 concert used the 041752 PT, which is the same one used in the Hot Rod Deville and other models. Should be in current production. And a hell of a lot cheaper than Mercury.

                    Now that's an answer, and what I expected all along- that I could use a HR DeVille trans.

                    Thanks all.
