[Boatanchors] OT power xfmr protection

Need some ideas here. My brother has an old Seeburg jukebox and 
someone told him he better get the xfmrs some overload protection. 
This thing does not have a single power supply. Each audio amp (R-L) 
has it's own power supply.

I thought about getting him those overcurrent relays for the 
secondaries and the primaries already have fuses. Maybe just the old 
fashioned crowbar would do the trick. Zeners would be useless at those 
voltages and an SCR would be a bit of overkill.

What are your thoughts?
