Ouch, like the passing of species, another one gone. 

There are solid state methods to protect modulation transformers, as well
as operating techniques that will greatly reduce the risk of this sort of
tragedy ocurring. It's been several years so I'll have to collect my notes
on this topic. But beyond the obvious one of using 'tune' mode to be sure
you are not transmitting into an open antenna load, I'll leave it to
others to add some detail here. Kinda mixed up with the 'ultra-modulation'
diode treatment, but diode strings are involved with protecting mod iron
as I recall.
