I think the transformer is ok. Reconnect the spkr to the transformer. Take a 9v battery connect one to the pri of the transformer. Take the other side of the battery just touch it monetarily to the pri lead. should hear a pop in the spkr The only reason I want to test out the trans is it a common problem.
You also may want to give your off/on switch a shot of Deoxit. It controls the filament and HV.
