3:1 interstage transformers?

Hello all,

As we head into yet another long, cold, dreary, dark winter here in Michigan, I've decided I want to try my hand at yet another amplifier build. Everything I've built prior has been RC coupled; I'd like to try something using interstage transformers for a change. It won't measure all that great, but I've heard some pretty decent sounding amplifiers from just prior to and just after WWII that actually sound decent with zero negative feedback.

Since I have a couple of type 5930s lying around (basically a 2A3 shoved into a tubular bottle), I figured I'd give this circuit from September of 1947 a shot:




I was thinking of trying this transformer from Hammond for the two interstage units: https://www.tubesandmore.com/sites/d...es/p-t124b.pdf. It won't break the bank, and it looks to be pretty cheap at $40 to $60 depending on the retailer. Should this work, or does anyone know of something that might better fit the bill?
