Thanks for the reply Al, the one I have at the moment has shorted turns syndrome, the bitumen cooks.
I wan't to try out an idea to remove which consists of the following (don't try this at home folks)
Short all secondaries out, connect mains lead direct to primary via 13A plug with 13A fuse fitted, take outside and prop up upsidedown on bricks, plug into 13A extension lead, plug extension lead in inside house, stay inside house and hopefully watch the transformer plop out. Failing that it will be a blowtorch job. When I was an apprentice we did this with an oil filled transformer just to see what would happen, the results were spectacular to say the least. (don't try this at home either)
I would really like to restore this PSU.
