Try Antique Electronic Supply in Tempe, AZ or Mojo Music in Napa, CA. I
don’t have the phone numbers handy, but you should be able to get them
>from information. Antique has some general-purpose transformers that are
inexpensive and would work fine for building your Champ. For instance,
they have a 5K:8 output that works well for either a single-ended 6V6
output stage or a 6V6 or 12AT7 reverb driver.
Mojo has a good selection of parts at reasonable prices, but I believe
that they’re not too keen on selling to the “general public.” (Their
policy may have changed since the last time I ordered from them… I
don’t know). They deal mostly with repair shops and small-scale
manufacturers.
