Go with an original RCA or HR Diemen, if possible. I have used many generic transformers with different results. Sometimes, the original is either NLA or very expensive, in which case I'll go with a generic. I remember the cheap "no name" generic that I stuck in a CTC179 that blew up in my face after about two hours of operation. I installed the transformer, played the set for about two hours, turned it off for the night, turned it on the next morning, and the transformer blew apart as soon as I hit the power button. Another problem I've had with generics is getting the terminals to line up correctly with the PC board.
