So I finally bought my dream amp of a gu-12 on eBay. It was reasonably packed but sometime shipment the output transformer fell out of its bracket and pulled its red wire apart, its blue and brown wire away from the circuit board tearing some of the circuit traces with it! (power tube fell out and broke as well) It appears that one of mount bolts on the bracket had at sometime fallen out and it was super glued? to the chassis instead of going to the hardware store and buying a 25 cent bolt and nut. Infuriating. My question now is the situation salvageable? Looks like the output transformer took a ding or two as it fell. So my first question is
1. Does the transformer look salvageable?
and
2. How hard would it be to reattach the wires to circuit board with the traces broken.
I have taken pictures for reference. Please help or let me know if i might be missing something.
