[sdiy] OB8 power transformer

[Peter Pearson]

Usually the bridge rectifiers go bad on those.  Though if it is the
transformer you can probably find something that fits physically and
matches the output requirements with a little digging.  If it's the bridge
rectifier, you want to replace it with a slightly higher amperage rated one.

Interesting that your customer is well versed enough in electronics to
diagnose a blown transformer but not well versed enough to repair it
themselves.  Sounds like a real unicorn.
