Did you notice the date on that transformer? "11-39." It was made in November 1939, roughly four years after your 643 was built, so that transformer is a replacement unit. That would explain the crude soldering you mentioned.

Hmmm. Unusual...not unheard of for an audio output to fail that soon in a set's life, but unusual...
