Dixie Sound was the original power transformer. There were about 25 or so Route 66’s with that tranny. Slightly lower voltage than later 66’s and also a bit less filtering… lead tone machines! It looks like yours has the original filtering setup as well (no filter caps on the board).
Im gonna guess that the Route 66 that Guitar Player awarded the first ever Editors Pick Award to, had a Dixie Sound tranny and circuit just like yours!

Rhino that happens to a many RT 66's. A bit of rough handling in shipping will do that. Loosen all four screws a bit on each tranny then press down from the to to straighten out the four elongated feet . You can use a mallet if you're careful to tap the top causing the legs to straighten, and I would pull the tubes before ding that. It looks a bit unsightly but it doesn't effect the operation.

Z Thank you for the guidance DRZ! I'll likely have to use a dowel or similar on the inside of the chassis to straighten it too.
