Several causes listed are caused by shorted or leaking capacitors. It’s a
tube killer.
A;so the sinle largest killer of hard to replace power transformers.

I have put fuses on the secondaries of the power transformer on some
high powered amplifiers. (On the high voltage leads). That protects the
xformer as well as other parts. Line fuses on the primary are not enough
in my opinion.
