Paradigm sub transformer problem

I have Paradigm PS-1000 subwoofer.
Currently it doesn't power up. Took it apart. The label on a transformer reads RED-TAP and WHITE 56V. But without load the actual reading is about 6V AC between tap and each white lead.
Where can I find similar transformer (120V 60 HZ to 2X56V 350W)?:mad:

sometimes there is a set of two leads on the transformer that you will find shorted. if so, this is the thermal fuse and it's blown. in this case you jump the leads and the transformer lives again. otherwise go to the manuf. for the part. I never see transformers die. but if so, it's usually this reason.

There is only one fuse inside and it was blown (1 9/10 A or something like that).
I replace it, but still nothing. I checked all the OUT leads from the transformer and they are not shorted. There is some resistance there.
