As said below, there are great tranformers from all eras...and lousy ones. There are plenty of great transformers wound today if you want to spend the money. The Edcor and Hammond ones will make a very decent amp. There are many boutique winders who will make great iron for more money. One main difference between cheap and better iron is core saturation at LF. You pay quite a bit more to get iron that will be flat below 25Hz vs iron that will have good mids, but start to roll off below 40 Hz or so in the same circuit.
