I have a c-1608 that I am attempting to bring to life. I so far have replaced the paper caps with film caps, and installed a positive ground solid state vibrator. This brought the speaker circuitry to life, am getting about +175 volts on the B+. I can get noise from the speaker now, by touching a probe (or anything) to the volume control center tab. It could't do this before.

However, the second IF transformer measures open on both primary and secondary, as well as the coils having a quite evident black color. This IF is 470 kc. Any idea where I might be able to find this part or an equivalent? I haven't found any. Any other suggestions?
