Nice work! I'm glad you figured it out. power/output transformers do go bad... but there are many more probable explanations for a fuse blowing. I have yet to replace a power transformer on an SVT, and I"ve worked on quite a few.
as for the fuses in series, I don't know. a fast blow of same or similar value will always blow first of course... but if you have two 8A slow blow fuses in series... I don't think one would be able to say which would blow first. I am not even sure how tight the tolerances are on fuses.
