I know its a long shot--any transformers out there for a 117XC?

Found supply dead, but switched  on. Opened the internal box, everything
black, stuff oozed out of xfmr. Stinks too. AC wires melting. Primary and
fill windings check OK, but all HV and bias windings show continutiy to each
other. No shorts to frame. One of the diodes in the 275 volt bridge is gone.
Leads still there, but diode is gone.

At least the fuse is still good!

Anyone have similar experiences? Is this a common failure mode? Suggestions
as to what other transformers fit in the box?--Mike, WV2ZOW
