Plexi with changed output transformer

[Petejax1234]

Hey guys,
Been offered a 1966 JTM45 with a changed output transformer. The amp is pretty road worn in general. How much does the transformer a, devalue the amp? And B change the sound? The seller still wants what I think is strong money £6k I don’t currently know what the transformer was replaced with but hoping to get this info soon.
Sorry no pics at the moment but what do you guys think?

Jeez that’s a lot of money.

'66 would presumably have had a Drake 784-103 or 784-74 OT? The odds of finding a replacement are vanishingly low. Something to consider...

Ye I was thinking this. Think I will have to walk away from this one as there’s no room for haggling with the price either

Lots of room to walk away at that price.

An amp with a changed output transformer is a different sounding amp though. Better or worse, however it will sound different from a Marshall JTM..

Depends on what it was swapped to!

This. Could be a another quality vintage one or a Merren or Marstran which are phenominal
