Hey, I'm looking for a power transformer for a matchless clone I'm building. Would this power transformer work with this layout?

Re: Transformer Help
In most respects it looks ok although the voltage it delivers is a little lower (275/0/275 vs 290/0/290 specced). The heater taps for the rectifier and rest looks up to scratch. You may end up with a little less clean headroom.

Re: Transformer Help
I can deal with the loss of headroom. I'm just confused about how the wires match up to the layout. I can see the 275 0 275 match up, as well as the 120v and 3.15 wires match up but not the rest. Can you help me out here?

Re: Transformer Help
You have 0 - 115 -125 primary inputs
On secondaries 0-5v for GZ 34 heaters (do not use centre tap)
3.15 - 0 -3.15 other heaters (centre tap to ground)
275 - 0 - 275 secondaries to rectifier
