Much appreciated, Arran. I'll ask around at the local radio club here (TARPA) and with the club I was in before moving (MAARC).

When I got the set, it had a 6X5 installed using a 6-pin to 5-pin adapter, so they at least had problems with the original 84 tube. But I didn't find any burnt wiring or resistors. The dial lamp wire crumbled in my hands--couldn't even rebuild the socket (had to replace with one of my spare '51 Studebaker instrument lamp sockets) but the lamp wiring didn't look burnt. So I don't know the cause of the transformer going bad.

Regards,
Clarence
