I don't in any way wish to do Mike out of a job, but with nothing to lose it can be worthwhile to have a gentle probe around under the outer wrapper of an output transformer's windings.

I have on more than one occasion found that the thin primary winding wire is terminated to a tag or a much heavier 'leadout' wire, and the joint has failed through corrosion, rupture, or both.

It seems that the early fluxes left a corrosive residue which can become active in damp conditions.

As in post #22 here. Did you check that, Peter? Mine had never been soldered.
