Because Heath used some of the crappiest suppliers
for some of their transformers. If you wind a HV
winding with very fine wire, and allow any of the
individual strands of wire to pull tight, when the
transformer gets warm and expands, the wire will be
stressed and eventually break.

There is nothing you can do short of rewinding or
replacing the transformer.
