I just have to wonder how much power it takes to MELT a 5Y3 like that, and the transformer still OK?
It must be a very large transformer, or you were just very lucky or both?
Cause the transformer in the radio part of my Hoffmen was toasted when the candohm resistor shorted out and took out the 5Y3, the insides of the transformer looked like a charcoal briquette.
