Maybe I wasn't clear enough, it was on the KPA100 were the R10 was fried, it 
is in the circuit of the high voltage bias supply, this is why I was looking 
for T3. 
But now there is something that confuses me a little:
According to page 27 of the KPA 100 manual, The green winding has the "pins" 1 
and 3 and the red winding has the "pins" 2 and 4. According to page 62 of the 
same manual, pins 1 and 2 should be the ends of the same wire as well as 3 
and 4 should be the ends of the same wire. Seems to be a contradiction to 
me... There is no short circuit to ground, as I checked it with my DMM. 
Continuity is there as described in the manual and T3 is wired according to 
the manual on page 27. 

Any feedback is welcome. Well, and I will not hurry because this usually makes 
disasters bigger...
