Bummer. I hope it's OK.

I have a 39-30 with the same failed rubber insulation. I'm either going to unsolder the end of each wire and slide heat shrink tubing over it or just replace them all.

You should be able to remove the bottom cover of the transformer and put heat shrink tubing over the old, bad insulation....taking off the bottom cover will make sure you get the heat shrink tubing all the way up to the core. Also very carefully warming the wires with a heat gun will help in keeping the insulation from shattering off while you repair the wiring. Just be careful not to get the wires too hot and melt the insulation.
