thanks, understood. I have 3 tanks on hand for use - the original gibson (1475 input impedance), a Fender (8 ohms impedance), and one out of a Peavey amp (600 ohms). I just tried the Peavey tank and it seems to sound best, and be the most stable.

I'm trying to use this little OT for now while I tune up the amp to see if I can make it suck less ;-). I just don't want to damage anything in the process. If I can get the amp sounding to my satisfaction, I'll likely drop the $60 to get the Mercury Magnetics replacement transformer. If not, I'll buy a $8 Fender reverb transformer and put it in (or maybe just leave the OT in) there and use the Fender tank. Until then, I'm trying to avoid dropping to much in parts just to turn around and sell it at a loss.

thanks again to everyone.
