I think I found the problem, and I don't think it was the transformer... it gets a little warmer than I might expect, but I started looking elsewhere for problems. Found that what gives me signal was something to do with the PC board. So I detached the pc board, and pulled it out... and found that if I put pressure on one corner of the board, I interrupt the signal, and playing with it, I believe I found that one problem was a part of the circuit path that was being grounded via a little mounting piece on each end. I insulated those spots, and now I get signal...
New problem... the clean channel sounds great, but the distortion channel simply sounds awful. Spotty and scratchy, although I never lose volume completely... have I burned up something in the distortion channel?
