Hello all,
Maybe a dead issue,  but a few days back there was discussion on replacing
HT transformer for a Henry amp.

Was surprised nobody  suggested repairing existing transformer.
Not a big deal, unless transformer potted or had burned.

Typically secondary fails. Typically secondary on outside of primary, easily
stripped and rewound.
Could be break where lead out connects to winding, so the original wire
could be used again.

Do not know situation in USA, but in most countries even quite small towns
have a business that repairs electric motors and generators, most can rewind
transformer with greatest of ease at low cost over price of copper.

Actually it is easy to do it yourself,  info can be found by websearch.
