Hi Doug, It wasn't the big toroid transformer that let loose. It was one mounted on a PC Board (Triad part).
See: http://www.mdxc.org/5v7v/good-news-from-5v-land-soon-on-air/ But you are correct...big heavy transformers in amps don't mix well with shipping amplifiers. I have an Alpha amp and the owners manual even cautions about moving the amp around the shack with the heavy transformer installed.
