Sometimes the failure in a transformer is a break right at the terminal, or the transision from the magnet wire to the lead wire. Left over rosin from the soldering process at the factory can corrode the thin wire over the years, and cause a weak point that opens like a fuse. You might try cutting open the outer wrap on the windings of the bad transformer to see if that's what it is.
