Bad Transformer?

I've got a Philco 40-180 that I just recapped and now I think I have a bad transformer. The transformer smokes and crackles when power is applied. Is there a way to fix transformers or do I have to replace it? If I have to replace, does anyone know what I need to replace it with?

Thanks.
