The transformer in the pics is not the transformer I am wanting to change. The input transformer as I recieved the amp was a 16 volt door chime transformer which I am guessing caused the first two diodes to blow (they are jumpered together)????? I am just looking to basically clean up the hack job on the diodes and replace the input transformer with something as close to stock as I can. I am just trying to get her looking and sounding good... Thanks again...

I have recently come across an old gretsch gadabout that somebody had "worked on" that had replaced the input power transformer. I have been working on guitars for quite some time now but am just getting into a little amp repair due to now being disabled and going out of my mind with boredom... Anyways please bear with me here. This little amp is in near mint condition and I would like to get it back into working order. I have replaced all of the electrolytic caps and 2 resistors but cannot find any info on the transformer or what I am thinking are 2 diodes (Stripe on one end). All I can figure is that I need a transformer that takes the regular household voltage (120) and steps it down to 16 volts (this is what all of the caps were rated at). The diodes look like black silos with a lock and markings CER 67 and a silver line on the cone end. Any help on any suitable replacements for these items would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time...
