A word of caution here Colin. I don't want to see you go to all the trouble to make a new casing and then find the transformer burnt and useless. That does look very bad with the EHT winding actually burnt. It does not look good to me and it might be worth obtaining a replacement that is in reasonable condition. I have never seen one so badly burnt and would have been the reason the set was put out of commission. Usually they have just tracked over and stank the room out. These can always be salvaged. It never fails to amaze me how customers continue to watch a receiver that is spluttering and smoking and refuse to switch off until the actual appearance of flames! Even if you find a transformer with a burnt case these are generally repairable but the windings are very rarely burnt as yours. I have checked my stock but no luck. Maybe another Forum member may be able to help. Regards, John.
