Here is the new transformer
The terminal strips were then attached to the new transformer using hot glue. Insulating cambric was used between the filmanet leads and the high voltage leads under the terminal strips. Hot glue was used to seal the windings. The mounting brackets from the old transformer were installed on the new one.
