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.

OK, that's fine. I'm really not sure how I would go aboout figuring out if this TV's Transformer is bad or not if I don't have a leakage tester, as test equipment doesn't come up for sale very often in my area, especially test equipment thats really specialized like a leakage tester, every once in a while I will come across a tube tester or a oscilloscope, but not much else.
