If I recall it is a 240VA transformer with 41 - 0 - 41 VAC winding, there was also a 12 - 0 - 12VAC winding for powering some lights and relay. The international version which I had offered several input switching, 110V/120V/220V and 240V. What makes you think that the transformer is faulty?

Sounds like the thermal fuse in the transformer has tripped, if your lucky, it may be bypassable at the pins on the bobbin where the primary voltage tapswitcher is attached.

Its not a good idea to bypass such fuse since it tripped for a reason, but it would save some money.

and if the transformer really is damaged, expect other damage

i had an email from bando lastnight,saying that they were unable to give out any info , as being under licence from sony.

Have you done any measurements on this transformer to confirm it is faulty ?
