What UK available transformers would you recommended for a Tweed Deluxe build to run 6L6?

Thanks for that!

Can't help with the the transformers, but you're rocking that look.

Sassafras

Nice, but a colourful scarf would add some variety to that look.

I have used this one in my build: http://www.ampmaker.com/store/0-190-275V-20W-power-transformer.html note that this does mean you can only solid-state rectify, which I have done and used a small value (100ohm ish) sag resistor instead. The advantage is the cost, and the fact that you can set up voltage switching, which means you can run the amp and 1/2 or 1/10th power and get more tweed crunch at lower volumes!

Otherwise just keep an eye on eBay for a transformer with the right voltage and current specs. I've done this several times and built a few great amps using salvaged transformers.

EDIT: Ignore all the above - just realised you want to run 6L6 - that transformer won't have enough current to do that. Although a 6V6 tweed deluxe is more than loud enough for anything I've ever done

Ebay is still a good option though, if you're patient.
