I don't want to hijack Rob's thread too much :-)

I actually have one of each design and the one with the offboard transformer
(I think) works. The board layouts are different but the components seem
to be the same.  It is hard to be sure whether the only differences between
the transformers relate to their mounting arrangements.  I tried swapped some
of the HV components back and forth between them to eliminate them from
suspicion.  I didn't dare try swapping the transformers in case they are
not electrically identical and because I didn't want a fault elsewhere in
the bad terminal damaging what is probably my only good transformer.

I have the part number for the other type of transformer somewhere but
I can't locate it right now...
