    Looking for a custom made 100W power transformer . . . .

I would be looking for a separate filament transformer , BUT, first i would be measuring the current of the heater winding in circuit .

    so many tubes no little knowledge.

    Yeh , Groove tubes are good, They are a company that buys by the tonne from different factories , but what make them a quality item is that they are burnt in ,tested ,and graded for their destiny .

    so many tubes no little knowledge.

    Don't ditch those tubes ! There's much to say about switching and swapping tubes , but nobody gives biasing a mention . you might have right there the best set of EL34's on the planet , but if you don't bias them to their optimal operating point you wouldn't know it. Biasing is the first step...
