Yeah, that's the way I'm leaning.

It think that is Rocco's (owner of Brown Note) take on the 18W. It is probably a custom wound OT, maybe it's even made by Heyboer, I don't know.

I'm not actually using his transformer set, just the layout.

I have a NOS Custom Coil PT that I got for $10 at a local electronics store. The OT is a 15W PP 8K:8 ohm Edcor unit:
