I just had a look at the varnished transformer in my TV22, it still works fine. I wonder if the problem might simply be the pitch itself, which could turn into a lossy dielectric with time. If that is so then it wouldn't be necessary to rewind any of these old Loptys, just replace the pitch with varnish using the method I did for my TV22.
