Are you sure it is the mod transformer, not the overload relay that is doing 
the talking back?  The cure for that problem is to wire a capacitor between 
the midtap of the power transformer and ground - something very easy with 
the open frame plate transformer, but more difficult with the potted version 
with the terminals on the bottom.  That by-passes the relay at audio 
frequencies, but allows it to still function to pull in with an excessive DC 
load on the power supply. Use a "computer grade" electrolytic, about 100 
mfd.  The positive terminal  goes to ground and the  negative to the 
transformer.
