Yeah, Kevin, I looked into it. The connections are intact right up to the core- still no continuity so it's shot. Out of curiosity, I pulled the transformer apart to see how it is constructed. Man, that was some thin wire for the primary. I should be able to get a replacement at a reasonable cost and I'm probably stressing too much over the little things. The transformer is tied to the plate of a 6as5 that just does not look right. I figure either the tube went south and took the transformer with it or the transformer shorted and took the tube out. Either way, fun and games.
