[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 911005, member: 325666"] Glad you didn't waste more time and expense .. I doubt you will get hold of a suitable transformer replacement ... But somewhere embeded in the winding is a thermal fuse .. It's likely this has failed but rarely possible to dig it out and replace it.. In fact I have had situations in the past where such fuses have failed for no good reason on AV amps etc .. Transformers should always be replaced ..but older amps ...are often unrepairable simply cos the manufacturer has discontinued support ...no spares available. Such transformers are specific to the unit ..and cost £70 and upward. You can do such thermal fuse fixes but at yer own risk ...certainly not for a paying customer. The law is clear on this. The risk of repeat failure and or fire is the reason. So I have often been the bearer of bad news to an understandably irate customer.. cest la vie VS [/QUOTE]
