Re: Stellaphone ST458
That's a Philips machine, these usually had a little thermal fuse hidden inside the transformer that can go open due to internal corrosion.
It can be seen near the transformer's terminal strip as a tiny plastic box embedded in the winding with two wires coming out of it.
I now have some replacement ones taken from scrap machines, but in the past I used to bypass them with a regular 0.5 amp fuse
