I was wondering if anyone could help me out with finding the correct Hammond replacement output transformer for the Fisher Part# T991-116-1. The output transformer is for a Fisher 500-c to replace a failed one.

You know 500c trannies come up on ebay all the time?
Your amp will sound better with the fisher part which is a better unit.
If you do go hammond you need the newer version with 4,8 and 16 ohm taps.The earlier versions are a pita as you have to connect wires for only one tap.
The hammond are not potted too.
Go fisher for many reasons includeing price.You can buy one fisher.You really need two hammonds.More money less sound.
Set up a saved search on eBay and you'll find them pretty quickly.
A pair of 500C output transformers normally sells for around $90-100. A complete set of power transformer and both output transformers for an 800C just went for $125.
You'll find your replacement for a reasonable cost.
Thanks to everyone for all the help on this, I will probably stick to trying to find an original off eBay but I'm glad to know there is an alternative if I can't find one.
I believe Heybour transformers has replacements for both power and output for
most fisher and Eico and Dynaco units, if doing outputs I'd replace both of them. http://heyboertransformers.com/
