Hi Eli,
I can think of a number of ways to skin that cat too... However, I think the filament winding was probably just barely adequate in the rating of the original trafo and it died. A 2A trafo would be fine for the 1.38 amp load. I have an Antek toroid sitting here that is 240 VAC secondary with a 2A 6 vac winding. There are several Hammonds that have 2A 6.3VAC windings with 220 - 320 VAC secondaries and all are small enough to replace the original. It has mulitple windings that were not used. I am sure George got a deal on a bunch of trafos and used them in various products. This one only needed the two windings. I emailed a guy who was his tech, who Dan (mossback) was kind enough to provide the email address of. Hopefully he knows what the trafo specs were and I can just get an over spec'd replacement that will never fail again. Otherwise, I can improvise anything I want as you suggest, but I need to know that B+ voltage I am shooting for. I know the rectifier voltage drop and current rating. I have many puzzle pieces....but if I get the spec from George's tech then it is easy....
