Jordan; If the filament winding is the only problem with the xfmr, you could try repairing it yourself. The filament windings are usually the last to be wound. They are usually a few turns of large gauge wire depending on the current rating. You will have to disassemble the iron core to access the windings. There are several sites on the internet that could guide you through it. Good luck. Fred
