I would hope it had a primary winding to.

Depends on the sentimental value. A rewound transformer would
buy TWO nice examples of the R-100 Stateside.

Yikes! I could buy a brand new standard transformer from Hammond for
$40 -$50. No, it wouldn't be original, but would it matter? Are R-100s
really down to the $20 range?

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Further to my previous message....

What I usually do in the case of a blown power transformer is as follows.

If an exact replacement transformer is not available or affordable, I buy
a
good electrical replacement from Hammond or whomever. It is never a good
mechanical match, as we all know. Rather than hacking the chassis to
death,
I make up an adapter plate. I take a piece of flat steel (old computer
cases
are exactly the right thickness, and they're free) and drill two sets of
holes in it, one to match the original transformer, one to match the new
transformer. I then mount the adapter plate either above or below the
chassis using 8-32 hardware and spacers of the appropriate length. Next I
mount the transformer to the adapter and wire it up. This permits me to
use
the "wrong" transformer, but does no damage to the collector value in case
the "right" transformer comes along; I just remove the adapter plate.

Before you dumpster the R-100, send it to me. I'll give you the price of a
new transformer for it! The R-100, if I remember correctly, has only two
windings, 600VCT and 6.3 filament. Replacing the transformer as I describe
is an easy afternoon project! Radio Daze and AES both list suitable
replacement transformers.
