Will I think the first thing to do is pull the 5Y4 and measure between pins 3 and 5 you should have about 600v ac. If you do then your power transformer more than likely OK. If not you will be looking for a power transformer. What you will need to replace it is 120v primary Secondaries HV 600 to 650vac ct @ 90ma 6.3vac @3a 5v@2a. That will give you 250-300vdc.

Now I think I've got!
