1968 Bassman Transformer (vs) 1968 Bandmaster Transformer

[Toppscore]

Hi!
Will a 1968 Bassman transformer fit into a 1968 Bandmaster Reverb TFL5005D chassis?
Will the chassis bolt holes line-up and fit?

I'd be interested if that is the case. Are the 1968 Silverface Bassman trannys 45w or 50w?
Ampwares says both the 1968 Silverface Bassmans are 50w ~ but are they really 45w???

If I get a 1968 50w Bassman tranny, . . . .
I understand a 5w difference is not to worry if installed in a 1968 Bandmaster Reverb. Right?
But, if the Bassman is actually 50w, would the 10w difference too much? What do you think?

Thanks for your response. Toppscore

Power or output ?

The power transformers share the same bolt pattern, but the Bassman lacks the 5V rectifier winding.

The output transformers are different, you'd have to drill a couple holes to mount.

Thanks. Power transformers I am discussing.

What is the deal with the 5V missing rectifier
if I put the 1968 45w/50w Bassmam tranny
into the 1968 40w Bandmaster Reverb chassis?

PLMK. Thank you.

The Bassman was solid state rectified (diodes), so it didn't need a 5V heater/filament tap for the rectifier tube. If you want to use the Bassman PT in your Bandmaster, you'll have to switch to a solid state rectifier or you'll have to add a 5V filament transformer in addition to the PT.

AltStrat ~ Thank you for your response.
Alright. Well, I just will not do it. Not a match.
Much appreciated. Thanks again for your time & info
