Blues Junior power transformer smoking - can it be rewound ?

[chazpope]

The OT is like a very small resistor to the DC. I don't know of anyone measuring the resistance of each leg of the OT and then measuring the voltage across it to find the idle current. .

in fact the resistance of OT it is about 100 ohms - I mean it is not small at all and the voltage is about 3v

so this 'resistor' and a voltmeter across it form an effective ammeter to measure the current without affecting anything

point being isn't this by miles better than disrupting the circuit ?

Well, the resistance is going to be different for each leg as well as for each OT you may come across. But as to your question, I really haven't considered it, so haven't tried it. However, disrupting the current is not a big deal.
