RSX 1067 transformer died

[BlackbirdM3]

I replaced the main temp switch for that fans on my 1067 and after testing it with a heat gun (fans kicked on, then kicked off as they should after I turned the heat gun off.) the sensor slipped out of my fingers and touched something popping the 2a 250V fuse. Now the moment the main power switch is turned on, the fuse blows. I've chased the issue to the main transformer on the left side of the case (Not the round one on the right side.) I found the part number, but Rotel doesn't list the part anymore. Is there another place I should go looking for it, or is there a newer receiver that I could look for that might run the same part with a different part number? I don't know if something is dead on the board where the fans plug in or not, but I'd hate to throw this thing out due to a bad transformer.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Will

I might have a 1065 with a bad digital board being swapped out soon. Can you check if it's the same part?

I will try to do so tomorrow. I'm not sure when I'll get home (16 hr work day so far and no end in sight...)

Thanks,

I think this is what died.

Upon closer inspection, its not the transformer that is bad, but it does appear to be part of the "Power 2 016X-1403e04" board. There is a 7 pin plug that comes out of the transformer and plugs into the CP115 "Sub Trans" plug. With that plugged into the board, the fuse blows. With it unplugged, I get signs of life, but no front display. Does anyone have a spare "Power 2" board sitting around they would be willing to part with?

Thanks
