so sorry to hear this. One thing that might throw a spanner in the works is that when using the NZ Post service (Not their courier service) they only insure up to $450. I hope you can get a satisfactory solution.

Hopefully $450 would cover a repair?

I'm moving house tomorrow so will be busy this weekend but if you want I'll take a look at it after that. Looks to be a fairly easy repair if the transformer windings are intact.
