I have been experimenting with testing LOPT's (see 'Testing 405 line LOPT 'thread) and it seems that this transformer is probably functional. What happens when it has to withstand 16KV is quite another matter so we will have to wait and see!
Perhaps you could try passing a small DC current through the windings. The primary of the line output transformer can be connected to a bench power supplier and adjusted for a current of 20mA. This procedure will warm up the transformer so that any moisture will be driven out of the windings.
