I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread with sources of hard-to-find parts for VINTAGE TUBE AMPS.
So, if you have a good resource, please post it on this thread.
I found this site recently.
AmplifiedParts.com

For starters: Click around these sites to see what they offer.
The first three carry amp parts of all sorts. though weber is known for speakers , they also carry a broad range of parts for amps as well as kits. Mercury and Hammond are strictly for transformers Mouser is electronics - you have to know what your looking for there. want a 10k 3 watt resistor?- they've got 9 different ones to choose from

I have used some of the above sites many times and some a couple times. Hammond Transformers make a wide variety of transformers. So they most likely will have a replacement for what you need. Hard core Tube heads will tell you there OP transformers aren't any good. They are fairly cheap and mass produced so they aren't going to be as good as the one place Bonedog mentioned (Mercury Magnetics). Because they are a big company and they do mass produce. It is easy to get an amp from them! I have dealt with Mercury Magnetics once and I will NEVER put myself through that again! I agree with bonedog about Mouser. Lots of stuff! Difficult website. It's designed for elecrical contractors. Tubes and more I have bought a lot of stuff through them. You have to be careful buying NOS tubes. They sell alot of stuff nobody would use 20 years ago. If you know what you want and they have it. Then your fine. They have always been very easy to dealt with and helpful! ANGELA'S instruments use to be the coolest badest place on earth to get tube stuff! Before the intronet they use to send out a cataloge that was so cool and informative. I use to enjoy reading the cataloge! I use to bring it to work and day dream about tube stuff! Now that's marketing!
