Got a Sony STR-DE697 with a bad power transformer (1-435-281-11). This will be my second receiver with a bad transformer; the first I was able to find a direct replacement off ebay. With this one, nothing has been found except for an old ebay listing for the sub board itself.
Tried to find a service manual to determine the transformer's specs but to no avail. Tried similar models with the same model transformer but no go.
So....
1) How does one determine a transformer's specs (input, output) if there is no information about it available? Are there clues on the board itself?
2) Is this one of those "Don't waste your time, kid." moments?
I appreciate any and all responses.
