The previous suggestion is a good one except ( if youre using a
multimeter) to test for shorts, see what your meter reads probe to
probe first. Transformers have VERY LOW resistance even when they're good.
Seeing 2 ohms on the xformer isnt strange.So. subtract out the
probe-probe ohms for a proper reading. If your meter has a diode check
function use that for diodes.

PS: Isnt Phish dead? I know trey Pistaciao can't get enough of himself
