I thought I take photos of the other wall wart after I broke it open and the transformer out.  I just used a flat head screw driver and a mallet to break the glue.  The original transformer is rather tall and is 3lbs 4oz and the one from the wall wart is much shorter @ 2lbs 6oz.  Comparing the windings, the wall wart the copper is higher gauge wirer (larger).  This is good as the transformer should hold up well to the coils charging/discharging.

Now to come up with some brackets for better mounting to the B-33's base.  Hanger strap material is a bit to pliable, so something a bit stiffer but still where I could bend/form it around the transformer's metal core and have it rise up to have two feet attached.  Perhaps I could walk around Lowes and find something.

The B-33 I have had for a while now was worked on, this can easily be seen when looking at the bottom of the engine (last phot).  There is a mess of different color wires and shrink tube.  It's like the previous owner used anything he had lying around!  Then when I looked a bit closer inside the tank the other day, I could tell the transformer had been undone a bit.  I'll be replacing all that mess of random wire/shrink tube for the 24v lines with new black single copper core 22 AWG wire when I tackle the its transformer.
