I started disassembling the transformer from the chassis, and it's not good. Directly on the underside of the chassis from this power transformer is the audio output transformer. I needed to remove the output transformer to get to the wiring from the power transformer, which passes through a grommet to the underside of the chassis. Once I removed the audio output transformer, I saw that all of the insulation on the wiring had either flaked off of the cables already or began flaking off as I touch the wires.
I don't dare to plug this in. I think I will keep investigating a rewind. I will also speak to Edcor and to Heyboer to see what they could quote me. I also have sent an email to Mark Oppat to see if he's got a comparable transformer. His website said to contact him to ask about transformers.
A side note, but my first job out of college was an audio-video systems engineer. We used Edcor transformers quite the bit. Nice products!
