Find and google the part number on it. See if you can find the original somewhere. Other than that, it's $50.

Yes orange had no info....
Re: Cant find reverb transformer Rockerverb 50 mki
I’d just go with a common Fender transformer. They both use 12AT7 for reverb, so the impedances could be close. Whats wrong with the original reverb driver transformer?

Oh wow, so it definitely was the transformer as the cause of the issue.
Do you still have it? You might be able to have it repaired....

Its out in my truck ill prob just rock the fender one at this point... I just cant see paying 48 bux for a 20 dollar part just cause it says mercury on it and is orange
Re: Cant find reverb transformer Rockerverb 50 mki
I see your point and have thought that. However, the Mercury is a custom part you can’t easily get anywhere else, and its a drop in replacement. I’d be happy enough with the Fender though, which is easily available from several different companies and has been cloned over and over. Mercury are very good qaulity too and in my experience very well made compared to other brands. A common part, I wouldn’t particularily go Mercury unless I was after physical appearance.

Yea im thinking i might pull the board and drill and tap a hole for the fender style one.... Between the trans and the new accutronics tank the verb has never sounded beter
