Pioneer PL-500 transformer

Hello,

I recently decided to resuscitate my dad´s old Turntable Pioneer PL-500 that hasn't worked for over 30 years. Everything inside looks good, I think only the transformer is damaged, I have been trying to find a replacement unit but nothing. I know the reference is PTT-092-0 and the transformer has 1 primary and to 2 secondary (the primary should be 120V 60Hz, but the secondary's, I don't know???). If I have the specs, maybe I can find/create a replacement, but I am no expert in electronics, so if anyone can please tell me the specs of the transformer would be perfect.

Pioneer PTT-092-0
Attached is the service manual.

Thanks in advance.

I have no connection to that ebay listing whatsoever.

Hope this helps

Hello,

Thank you, but I dont live in the US, the price for the transformer plus transport and customs would be very high. If I just had the specs I could solve this for less than half the price, also I am not 100% sure its the tranformer, if it's not, I will be stuck with a big cost.

Why are you suspecting the transformer to be bad?

Because it blows the fuses immediately when I turn it on, I removed it and hot-wired the primary to 120V, and it immediately smoked a little from the primary and there is no V on the secondaries. So, I assume it’s the primary. Also, now, there is no conductivity on the primary.
