Can I use this transformer?

Can I sub this transformer (Mouser part # 42TL218),

In place of this transformer (Mouser part # 42TM018),

http://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/164267.pdf

For this project?

From quickly looking at the spec scheets, it looks like the main difference is that the 42TM series can withstand a bit higher power (200mW) than the 42TL series (75mW). So, looks like it would be allright to use the TM018. Don't take my word for it though...

Impedance 10k/10k both and resistance very close, I think that's a "yes"

PS: How's the "Fuzzes" goin ?

Very good! I have them both but I found that the 42TL218 is half the size of the 42TM018. If I went with the 42TM018 I would have engineer the box and put switches and the like in ugly places. With the 42TL218 I can make a very symmetrical layout of the knobs and switches by securing the PCB to the tops of the potentiometers. The 42TM018 is too large in height to do that so I would be left with having to secure the board to the box itself and relocate the potentiometers and switches elsewhere.

The fuzzes are fuzzy.    I'm still wanting to get down to making up PCB layouts of projects I want to do (and projects I want to post here).

.... lookin forward to some 

I still have a couple of TM018's to use up, I agree they are a bit "rotund" !
