If you ever try unwinding one of these transformers, the winding turns come off easily except at the ends where the varnish is.
On the subject of replacements, they are all constructed the same way and with those same vintage transformer materials, so going OE vs aftermarket doesn't make a difference as far as reliability.

If by 15" Westinghouse you mean the H840CK15 model, then I'm actually looking for a new convergence transformer for one. The one in my set is still good, but I hear they tend to short and take out unobtainable potentiometers so I'd like to buy one for preventative maintenance.
