Hammomd 1750EP correct fit for 5E3 chassis?
I'd lke to try a Hammond paper wound 1750EP for a 5e3 build. The correct width for 5E3 mounting is C-C 3 1/8" with the width being 3 5/8 " I have attached the Hammond 1750EP spec sheet which shows mounting holes at 2.81" with a 3.25" width. This does not seem correct as a drop-in replacement. Has anyone used these Hammond 1750E or 1750EP and is it necessary to drill a hole which is difficult in a chromed steel chassis.

To make a hole in a chromed chassis you need a punch or you first need to grind away the chrome where you need to drill.

I used the 1750EP to build my own 5E3 as well and had to drill another mounting hole in the chassis to make it work. I too was disappointed it wasn’t an exact drop-in fit but otherwise it seems to be the correct OT for this amp.
My 5E3 chassis is either from Mojotone or Antique Electronics Supply, I don’t remember which because I bought the chassis a whole year before getting the transformers and beginning the build.
