PRS Archon 100w w/offset, tilted or slanted transformer

[daveNOTW]

Hey guys, new to the forum.

I'm looking at a used 100w Archon. The back left transformer, for some reason is slanted to the left. I think I recall seeing this before with other Archon but I've been googling it all afternoon with no luck.

Anyone know if this is common?

Thanks.

Looks straight up in this picture on the PRS website, if you look through the grille:

Seems like your seller has one with a bent mount.

Yeah I've only ever seen them straight up. As far as a bent mount goes, are we talking... 'chassie was taken out of the head shell and dropped' type of bent mount?

I've seen a few that looked like the transformer was off-kilter. I never could decide if it was accurate or a weird perspective thing with the camera.

Mine is straight.

Mine is straight. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

These are heavy OT’s. A weird fall in shipping can cause it. I’ve seen on several amps of any Make/model. Usually no harm in it. Transformers pretty much work or don’t. Usually not much grey area.
