Laney VC30 Output Transformer

if you were replacing a blown OT in this 30 Watt, 4xEl84 amp, which one would you get?

or

or

any other suggestions?

part of my issue is the stock transformer thats in the amp is very small - its snuggled between the second preamp 12ax7 and the PI - would like to find something small so i dont have to destroy the chassis putting the new one in.....

thank you!

The links are mostly for 6V6, you need a Tx for EL84.
IIRC a quad of EL84 needs a primary winding plate to plate of 4k.  Pri Z is usually just written as (4k pp) on data sheets.
Others here might know places in your location to find a Tx that will work well for that amp.

doesnt the vibrolux/tremolux have about a 4k primary?

those seem good, right??

1760J looks like it would be close.

Generally a pair of 6V6 use ~6k pp
while a pair of EL84 would be ~8k pp

The reality is,
there are many OT parameters that effect the final outcome.
