You might be better off getting it rewound. If you are a member of the HRSA. The quarterly mag has a fellow advertising that actually does this. It could be pricey but probably the best avenue if you are like me and just want to get it done. And it would be as good as new.

http://www.transformerrewind.com.au/ is his website. They are in VIC so shouldn't be a worry.

Carl, I've edited your comment for clarity - please remember capital letters at the start of your sentences.

Joe, please post your query only in one forum at a time. There's no method here to merge the two threads you've started on this topic. Carl's referral to Transformer Rewind may be your best bet.
