The best way to tell if your transformer is acting up is to check if it's vibrating, I'm sure all tube amps will vibrate a tad, but if it's vibrating lots, and making alot of noise (Not from the speakers), then the transformers are definitely on the way out.

If you have to put new transformers in, don't settle for anything other than Mercury transformers.
