Edward, Bill,

Thanks for your replies.

That mains transformer pictured is indeed the one in the Challenger. I've salvaged the valves and autochanger from that one and the rest of it has been scrapped. I'll post up a pic of the Arkansas transformer later which, to my eye, doesn't look to be in too bad shape.

In the meantime, I've been having a poke around and pulled out one of the capacitors (C748 on the schematic) which was sitting beside one of the ECL86's. According to the multimeter it reads OK.
