A few things:
a) McIntosh winds their own transformers.
b) McIntosh has been in business for many years, and through many ups and downs.
c) Meaning that their management at least has some basic business intelligence.

That means nothing. Management team assistants can be good or bad irrespective of time. The smaller; more prejudiced; more nepotistic and less meritocratic, the worse off. Like with the Trump family.

d) Suggesting that the transformers they make/made are not unique to each individual component.
e) Suggesting that it is quite likely that they may have that transformer available.
