I have. I measured the resistance across the HV secondary, and then from the CT to each side of the winding. One side measured 12 ohms and the other measured 58 ohms. I have found a replacement transformer and installed it, it is now working as intended, played for 3 hours this evening and got moderately warm. Best of all did nor blow any fuses:)
