One of the other switches was badly damaged as well, so I decided to just utilize the components, and put away some specialised parts as spares for my working valve tester. First of all, I removed the tapped heater transformer and tested it on its own. Perfect condition, and it has tappings for the following voltages at quite high amps: 2 - 2.5 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7.5 - 10 - 13 -16 - 20 - 26 - 30 - 35 and 40. Also a separate winding supplying 100V, tapped at 30. I will use this as the basis of a stand-along AC power supply. I am sure it will be very useful. The other transformer has tappings at 12 - 60 - 75 -90 -100 -150 - 200 - 250, so that will be every useful as well.
