Blown 240v transformer?

124.189.80.28

Hi there..I was doing the volt check on my 2A3 Paramount and shorted pin B4/5 to T15 with the meter probe. Both B side LED's blew as well as the 2 1N5818 rectifiers. I replaced the LED's and the 5818's [with 5819's.. all I could source]. When I power up, the replaced LED's light up but the A side ones dont. I checked them with the meter and they light up with the meter set on ohms. The only terminals I get volts at are T1 455v, T5 80v, and T16 455v. Am I the first Bottlehead to blow a 240v transformer?? Any advice is much appreciated..
Cheers, Andy
