Does this transformer has a resonant capacitor on it?  They where very 
common on IBM power supplies from that time period and if the capacitor 
goes short you will not get any output from the transformer.  This is a 
lesson I learned as a green service rep 40 years ago after lugging in a 
very heavy transformer for a machine.
