Yamaha RX-V483 dead.

Yamaha RX-V483 dead. No 5.5V on secondary.
Tested all fuses, diodes, transistors and caps.
Unsoldered transformer, - seems to ring trough on all coils. Fuses are OK. Primary DC voltage 160V.
 
The STR3A153 is readily available and has the same pinout and similar spec's. If it is the trouble, it might be the only way to save the amp.
 
Does the relay pull in?
The board is discoloured below the big primary cap, suggesting overheating. Did you measure the ESR of that cap?
