The only way I have managed to keep matching transformers for my 900 foot 
beverage is to mount the transformer inside a defunct tube base and mount a 
corresponding socket in a weather-proof box (I use a standard rural mailbox 
for this).  Whenever there is a threat of severe thunderstorms in the area, 
I go out and manually unplug the tranformer assembly from the socket, and 
leave it lying disconnected inside the closed mailbox.  I got tired of 
rewinding that transformer, and haven't lost one since I installed it in the 
plug-in assembly.
