Look up Gary Brown
Transformer Rewinding Service
He is in Maine

Gary WZ1M
He rewound mine. Cheaper than a replacement transformer price from Tentec ($575 
plus 
shipping) and you will get a better transformer as a result.

I am NOT pleased with the Tentec power transfoirmers breaking down so 
frequently.
Gary says he has rewound a LOT of Centurion transformers. It tells me something 
is wrong 
with them if the fail so frequently and so easily.
