Heyboer sells new ones and rewinds old ones. They'll be slightly cheaper than Mercury Magnetics, but for an amp as relatively oddball as the Major, tranny replacement is going to run around $1000 just for the parts. You could sub some generic Hammond iron and make it work. They will be alot more common, and hence less expensive, and they will also do custom work, as well.
BTW, I wouldn't take what your "local Marshall agent" has to say as gospel until I had a tube amp specialist have a look at the amp. Unless something catastrophic happend like it got turned on outside in the rain or had beer spilled inside it, the chances that both trannies are dead is small...unless of course someone who didn't know they were doing had already been messing around inside the amp.
