Thanks , Fred.  My mistake!  I did a search for the Stancor PC-8414 and already found several sources.  I appreciate your help.

Well, the project is done.  A new transformer was installed, some additional rotted wiring was replaced, and the 12AT7 speech amplifier issue was resolved (ground problem).  I tested the unit this morning with a Shure 450 and the audio with its push-pull class B modulator sounded great on a separate receiver (Hallicrafters S-106).  I cleaned the cabinet with a damp cloth and used sparingly Scott's liquid gold--it turned out well.  The 2E26 final is soft and will need replacing but fortunately these are inexpensive.  I appreciate everyone's help.

Sporadic E openings should start popping up on 6 meters as we get into Spring and Summer months and hopefully the rig will get some use.
