With he 706 disconnected from the supply I put a new fuse and it blew. I
then disconnected all the secondary wires from the transformer and put a new
fuse in and it didn't blow.

I put the multi meter in series with the mains wire input to the transformer
and I got a reading of 300mA with all wires disconnected from the secondary
side of the transformer. I left the transformer switched on for a few hours
the transformer got too hot to touch and I could smell the heat from it.
This is the stage I'm up to at the moment Fred.

Shorted windings -- probably in one of the secondary sections.
