Thanks, Mondial. it's a bit cheaper too. I thought I'd tested that transformer on this before I decided to restore it. I tested all of the coils, chokes and other transformers. the primary was open on the output transformer too. Started to wonder what happened to this poor thing in the past. 12 volt battery connection maybe or just my luck?

perhaps I'll try the coupling cap to see if I uncover anything else before I leap in and spend another chunk of change on another transformer. It's got other issues as well. the hash is terrible, for one thing. The Cabinet is yet another sad tale. :-)
