If you're in Europe, did you drop your 240 volt mains to 120 volts?
Are you aware that the RCA CTC5 was rated for use only with 60 Hertz (cycles) AC?

these two items alone may explain a burned up power transformer.

If you are fortunate enough to find a 50 Hz isolation transformer with just a 240-volt secondary, it needs to be 300 watts or VA. Then you get a 50 Hz trans with 6.3 volts at maybe 10 amps and you are ready to make it work.
