Now the 10,000mfd/50V is getting 53V DC, which I know is wrong. So, I want to know what is the correct AC output from the toroidal, centre tapped transformer.
If I where you to be on the safe side, I would order a brand new transformer. Transformers are safety parts anyway and should also be replaced by exact types recommended by the manufacture of the amp. It's not worth tampering with the thing yourself only to have it burn your house down a few days later for want of spending some money on a new one!

magnetic field supplies are different than conventional types, check that the thyristor is working properly
SOURCE: nad 310 no power
The output should be 24v ac. Sounds like you have a busted transformer. Did you check out the resistor in front of the transformer.
You sound like you know what your talking about so I will not bore you with suff like glass fuses and thermal couples.
Good luck, I have had a few items like this over the years. Sometimes it's just best to send them in to the manufacture. I would look for a replacement transformer. 120v ac to 24v ac around 5 amps. Test it out and see if it works... If not, send it in.
