Mondial,
Thank you for that information. I removed the tube (RCA Radiotron 80) and powered up the chassis. After about a minute I heard a faint crackling which seemed to be coming from the area of the transformer and then a slight burning smell.
I assume these transformers are not readily available. Are they available at all, and is replacing it a feasible repair?
One note, the wire that leads from the chassis to the speaker was frayed and I believe is now broken, so when I powered up the chassis the speaker may have been out of the circuit, if that makes any difference.
