Bit of a worry a mains transformer failing - and the maker putting
their finger on the problem immediately? If it is indeed just a
transformer and not a SMPS?

Transformer.

Finally got around to replacing the transformer this afternoon. The
speaker then powered up OK and would play music. Too soon as yet to know
if it will go wrong again or if my 'repair' has caused some other
problem. But so far so good. One nagging worry is that something else
*caused* the transformer to fail, so may do so again in the - perhaps
near - future! Fingers crossed...

Does the transformer sort of look marginal to your experienced eye, Jim?
Or does it vary from the average mains transformer in design - perhaps to
provide the HT? Just seems an unusual thing to fail - and for the factory
to put their finger on the fault instantly.
