Hallicrafters SX-42 ... the existing one sizzled and died :-(

The specifications a 115V primary, 500V C.T. @ 142mA, 5V @ 3A and
6.3V @ 5.3A, and the mounting holes are 3.75"x3.00".

If anyone knows a likely source for a replacement, please let me know.

Thanks!

And there's always ebay. Unfortunately old large transformers and
audiophile prices tend to go hand-in-hand but you might get lucky. I
recently found one for an 18-tube set of mine for $19. I guess it was
"too big" for audio gear
The Vintage Electronics category is where to look.
