Power transformer for NAD C162

Posted by JonM on July 1, 2017 at 14:53:52:
NAD C162 pre-amp. No lights, no sound. Kill-a-watt says zero current is being drawn, power switch measures good, but power transformer's primary measures open.

The transformer is a custom toroidal design, a Noratel TI-6766B.

I found this thing in the e-waste at work, hoping any fix would be cheap. But I don't think that's going to be the case.

Any suggestions, or should I put it back where I found it?
