[Collins] Transformer Needed

I am finally getting around to restoring my second 30K-1.

Knowing that I will probably never find the original  2.5 volt filament
transformer for the 866A's.  I am looking to find a transformer case that
measures 2-1/4 inches from center to center and 3-1/2 inches from center to
center from each of the mounting holes in the flange plate.  These are these
nice sealed transformers with rounded corners.  The transformer case should
be 4 inches tall or something a little over.

I do have some here, unfortunately but they are slightly larger and will not
mount in the chassis holes.

What I am going to do is take out the "guts" and to retrofit a 2.5 volt
transformer that I have here.

Thank you.
