Jay, I missed the 1760 series on the website, thanks for pointing them out. I really like the 1760JB as a replacement but it’s going to be a very tight fit. The top of the transformer will be touching the bottom plate and the core will be tight up against the relay but I’m very confident I can tuck it in there. Thank you for your research and recommendation, as always you really helped me out.
I wonder if you can shim the bottom plate out 1/8 of an inch or so to avoid contact. It might interfere with the magnetic path if it's touching, assuming a steel chassis and bottom plate. I think that the amplifier might acoustically "sing" along with the music if it touches. A small thin insulating sheet such as fish paper or G-10 board is another possibility.
As it's shown as a maximum spec, the actual dimension may be a little less. It looks like this transformer has covers over the windings on both sides, you can probably pry off the mounting strap and remove them if necessary to gain side clearance.
Happy to help.
