I think you nailed it on the head. It did seem strange to see the
different output trans in there. I'm thinking that because if that
whoever owned the amp before
me must have had it in for repair. Or it might have even come from the
factory that way. Due to shortage of parts.

There are always tell-tale marks when components have been de/resoldered.

My old apprentice mentor many many years back, told me that the only way you
should be able to tell that a component has been replaced, is if the
soldering is *better* than the manufacturers original ! A good maxim I
think, and one that has stuck by me for my whole life in the business. I
never use too little solder on a joint, nor too much, and always clean off
the flux residue.

I like that.
