And what makes you think Luxman are going to make details of their own
proprietary designs freely available to the public or any service organisation?

Luxman - and most audio eqpt manufacturers - design their power transformers
specifically for the model concerned. You won't find an off-the-shelf
replacement anywhere and you won't find the winding details unless you
physically strip one down and count the turns. That's a lot of hard work and
nobody in their right mind will usually feel it is worthwhile. If it fails you
simply have to buy a new one from them...

Having said that you might find that the reason for the transformer failure is
the thermal fuse they generally include in the primary winding. In some
transformers it is possible to access this fuse by breaking away some of the
webbing on the winding bobbin and removing the fuse and then by-passing it. I
managed to do this recently when faced with the same problem.
