ouch... sorry to hear about the transformer. I had a burnt transformer in a TZ, the primary was fried (dead short). After a lot of emailing and searching I found one. I pretty much followed up on any lead I found on pinside and other forums. The guy I dealt with was very fair and shipped it via USPS in one of those $15 ships anything that fits in the box type arrangements. Transformer worked well and it was worth every penny.
Quoted from thedefog:I'm honestly surprised nobody has re-manufactured these. I know that a lot of guitar amp Transformers got re-manufactured, and they have multiple voltage windings and filament windings on them. I bought a Hammond main power transformer and a choke for my Twin Reverb amp for under $100 shipped brand new.
They sell a lot more tube amps (and kits) than pinball machines I'd imagine. There is a huge DIY tube amp market out there.
Quoted from thedefog:I just lucked out and got the guy on eBay to sell a working one for $50 plus shipping. Id' say that's a good deal. Very relieved.
Congrats!
