I ended up buying this one. Not sure it will work, but I never tried Mercury ones before. But this one came relatively cheap.

What is the model number? Maybe you can post a photo of the label?

If I'm reading that top right it's the MMO-100M

I had two Quinn SDQs. A mix between 183 and 102. I know one came with a Heyboer JCM800 output transformer.

FYI Quinn actually worked on the 183 (and built direct clones).

That Mercury Magnetics will probably sound great. I personally, along with others, think that MM transformers have a little more high fi sound to them than other transformers e.g vintage or Heyboer.
