Evening Wayne, Sorry, but you are very much mistaken on that. On many of the old vacuum tube audio circuits I've worked on there are "power supply transformers" and there are "output transformers". Mix them up and sparks may fly! In fact, some amp circuits even use a third transformer -- a much smaller one called a "choke", which is used as an inductor. So I am accustomed to being specific about it, though there is no output transformer or choke in a CS generator AFAIK.
You can call me old and dated, or even pedantic, but the term is still certainly correct. If you don't believe me, go check out the RCA circuits from the 40s and 50s -- the original circuits that amplifiers made by legends like Leo Fender, Jim Marshall, and Dick Denny were based upon. Also, the power supply usually consists of a bit more than just the transformer, which is the main, but not only, component. There is often at least rectifier circuitry involved, and sometimes filtering capacitors as well in a quality design.
