*Output transformer #2 is not the standard Gibson part number. That said, it is a Gibson OEM transformer with acceptable specifications, and its date code is 2 weeks off from the other output. While it is possible that this is a replacement, it is also quite possible that Gibson pulled an alternate part in order to fulfill an order.
