You also need to make sure that if the old transformer was DC, the new one is also DC, and vice versa. If you need a DC transformer and all you have is an AC version with the correct volt/amp parameters, it can be converted with a full bridge rectifier and maybe a few capacitors for filtering. This will drop the voltage ever so slightly however (maybe a fraction of a volt).
