Default Cambridge amp A5, blown transformer

After 2 years of fine operation my cambridge A5 amplifier suddenly
stopped working two days ago. Having an understanding of electrics I
tested the transformer and discovered that there is no continuity in
the primary winding. Since it was quite cheap originally it seems not
worth spending a lot of money on it, meaning I could stick an other
transformer in it if it is cheap and if it is likely to be the only
thing wrong with it. Since the primary winding is burnt out it seems
likely that no other components are damaged. Am I right with that
presumption? There is no specifications written on the transformer.
Does anyone know which kind I need and where to get it? Every
suggestions are welcome.
