Blowing fuses as soon as it's powered on.

Disconnected all the secondaries;  no help.

My experience as well;  however, I HAVE seen a couple of bad transformers 
(one on a Prophet 5;  one on another of these old organ/synth crossovers).

I was originally thinking of trying to hook up a new transformer (or 
transformers) to the board;  but considering this boy is 30+ years old, it 
might just be time to replace it with something from this century.
