Slightly leaky would be bad. The transformer will get warm (maybe hot) which will likely cause it to get worse until it spirals out of control and goes up in smoke.

Personally, I've never encountered a bad transformer in a vintage TV but of course all things are possible.

I do have a couple Dumont RA-103 parts chassis. If the power transformer is the same, it's yours for the cost of shipping.
