Looking at the schematic for the amp the 230V power transformer seems to have a 16.4V AC dual output centre tap secondary winding i.e. '''230V AC input and 2 x 16.4V AC outputs''' {see TP1 (p5) and TP2 (p7) at circuit ref. C8 coming from ref. A7 at the transformer}

''The only problem is that the transformer’s output '''current rating''' (or power rating) is not specified as this would have a major bearing on which replacement transformer to get.''
Is there any information printed on the transformer at all that might help e.g. something showing output VA (volt - amps) or Watts as this will tell you the current value as you know that the output voltage is 32.8V AC i.e. 2 x 16.4V AC? VA = voltage x current.
The Fender part number for the 230V transformer is 031364 but I got no results at all when searching for the part using the part number. You may have better luck.
