I have a service paper that came with the TV but its no help at all.
All it says from my understanding is that 12V enters the primary and
the next test point after the secondary indicates 9V.

Transformers are a black hole in repairing, if you can find the
service manual you could have the directions for checking ohms at the
coils. Otherwise you must unsolder it and just check the continuity of
the coils.

Good luck
