I tore into the amp tonight and what I found is not good. One of the output transformers is open and this set uses oddball transformers with 3 seperate windings. We have the secondary winding going to the speaker, we have one primary winding that reads 220 ohms and is in the plate circuit of the output tube, and we have a second primary winding that measures 10 ohms and I haven't traced where it connects (it's nice when the amp is stereo - I can use the other transformer for reference). I suspect the only luck I'll have is finding a good used transformer; but, the chances of this thing living again went down a great deal when I found the open transformer.
