Hi Graham. I will pull the schematic tomorrow and look it over . Should be fairly easy to wire it back up.  Although I will say that most of the time something takes out the transformer. I would start checking all the caps on the secondary side of it.

Many thanks for your help can you tell me the two orange and white wires that originally went on old transformer what voltage are these I know the three blue are 6.3 volt I think the orange and white are 30volt I might be wrong and you were right two cappacitors are gone 600v ones I would say someone could not get a transformer with right voltages so have done this so they need a seperate supply as they fitted two power sockets at back off unit to supply 6.3volt for crt and what ever the orange and white feed is regards graham

Thanks for those pictures. That helps. I have been extremely busy the past two days. I am off tomorrow and will see if I can get into the schematic for you.

Three of the 5 capacitors were dead so changed all five these were on the rectifier board they look like they got really hot would this have caused the transformer to go u/s in the first place regards graham
