Give Talema a call... maybe??
This is from your photo:
.... and this is what I found on the net... (here's the website: http://www.tubebbs.com/thread-345364-1-1.html )
From the (limited) circuit diagram posted earlier, which contains the photo of the unit PCB as well, they used half wave bridge rectifier. So.... you could also disconnect the secondary windings, use a lab power supply, set the current limit to around 300mA... and then feed the DC to that black capacitor. Start with 20V and slowly increase the voltage... until you STOP seeing voltage change at point X:
Caveat:
You will need to "fool" the relay.... because the relay is part of a delay circuit... and its operation depends on the presence of the secondary wiring/secondary voltage.... i.e. the DC voltage required for that little protection circuit to operate DOES NOT come from that big capacitor.

Thanks Extreme_Boky for your contribution !
Very interesting !!
But my problem would be to know what ac voltage should come out of the secondary of this dead TALEMA transformer.

Call Talema... give them the part numbers and see what they have to say. I am sure they'll have a record of what they produced in their factory.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I just sent again a mail to Talema
Without much hope !
I also just managed to measure the secondary voltage, by supplying the transformer with 115v ( since one of the 2 primary windings - a 2x115v - is short-circuited ),
And I measured 32,1V ac.
So the secondary could be a 2x16Vac
And depending on the weight of the transformer ( 1050g ), with an ext diameter 93mm, it could be an 80VA

Something doesn't add up...
In all gear and service manuals I have seen the 2 primary windings need to be connected in parallel for 115V operation and in series for 230/240V.
Or did my brain did my brain just s**t itself ?

Only one primary can be used, if the other one is not connected, and is not shorted.
If the other 115VAC winding were shorted, you would not have been able to measure with the other winding.

Dear Rayma,

Possible, that you are right !!

Thanks RM for your nice pics !
But alas, yours is not the good one : it is for the 8000Q
And me, I am looking for the 8000C preamp
All the best for You,
Raymond

THANKS R !!
For your 2 diagrams.
What a pity, there is no voltages indicated on the transformer secondary
