All of my transformers that failed shorted primary to convergence. The quick way to ID it is the two 2.2K 2 watt resistors in parallel start overheating and vertical goes crazy. It appears to puncture the insulation. I have one of the bad ones and hooked it's primary to 120 volts AC. It works as a stepdown but leaks to convergence windings.
