Hi guys i am currently repairing an 80 w amplifier and everything is okay but the transformer has no resistance on primary and secundary site.I even hook it up to mains to check if it's working and its not.I tried to open it to calculete the output voltage but it's realy hard beacose it's covered with some epoxy or resin.Never mind,on the transformer it has some numbers and letters and can that show how much voltage is outputing on the secondary or any help about that how can i find that

What is the brand and model of the amplifier? It is very unlikely anyone can identify that particular transformer from those photos.

You need to know details of the amplifier requirements.
Unusual that both Pri and Sec are open!!??
It is common for a thermal fuse to be buried in the primary winding that may have blown, but that would not affect the secondary.

Yes i know that seemed strange to me but i don't know it has a fuse on the amplifier case and goes series with the transformer i checked it and its good and for the requerments of the amplifier it uses stk459 chip

There appears to be two secondaries, highly unlikely that one is open circuit, let alone TWO?
And one is centre tapped by the look of it!
Are you sure you are measuring correctly?

20190224_230309.jpg it's an old one and this is on the front side it has two cassete players it has an equalizer it has that big cd on the top but i don't know how it's called in english

You know like somethimes its mesuring something but somethimes not but that isnt going to help beacose the primary is burnt but now i am mesuring it and it's not giveing anything i think when i tryed to open it maybe i broke it or something

Ah, well. That sort of thing isn't like to be using a common transformer. As old as it is, you'll be lucky to find a replacement part. I would work on the basis that your measurements of the transformer are wrong because that's your best hope.

Yes but when i know the output voltage i am going to wound a new transformer but i don't know the output

If the power transformer is open on both the primary and secondary from some kind of power surge then the chip is probably toast.
The schematic for the STK459 shows a bi-polar supply.

The first post said "no resistance" on the primary. Do you mean zero resistance? Or do you mean no conductivity? And if you are not able to do any more checking how do you expect to be able to wind another transformer and have it work?
My guess is that you have an ohm meter with a single resistance range with perhaps 1500 ohms mid scale, and a low resistance shows tha same as a short circuit.
So at this point you are going to need to do some circuit tracing and see what the two secondary windings feed. If the one set is just for the lights, then you are in luck.

If you can tell us the type number of the output transistors then we can figure out the voltage that is needed for 80 watts output.
One more thing, which is that the numbers in the picture are very hard to see.
SO please read them and post what they are , and THAT may provide us with some useful information.

What were you repairing on the amplifier before you found this problem?
AND, REALLY, if you can provide us with the type numbers of the output stage transistors than quite probabkly we can give some worthwhile assistance.
