Hello,
You will need to be more definitive as to the problem then "quit working".  What is not working? Is it plugged in, fuse blown, getting power to the transformer?  Are the tube filaments lighting? 

Get out your DMM and run the voltage checks:

Seduction Voltage Checks
Terminal          Voltage         
6                6.5VDC         
7                0VDC         
9                6.0VDC         
10                0VDC         
11               0VDC         
12              135VDC         
14                0VDC         
15                148VDC         
16                0VDC         
20                0VDC         
25                160VDC         
26,36             0VDC         
27,37           70VDC         
28,38            0VDC         
29 ,39             70VDC         
30 ,40            70VDC       
34,44             135VDC         
35 ,45             0VDC         
A1,B1            70VDC         
A2,B2             0VDC         
A3,B3             1.6VDC         
A4,B4             0VDC         
A5,B5             6.0VDC         
A6,B6                  70VDC         
A7,B7                 0VDC         
A8,B8                1.6VDC         
A9,B9               0VDC         


Let us know the results.

Cheers,
Geary

You have a flaky solder joint making an intermittent connection.

Just reflow every joint. It will take all of ten minutes.
