Conclusion: I had a spontaneous transformer fault that fried itself.

Now I am curious how ARC will react to this as I send them a full report with all measurements.

That is very resourceful -- must have been exciting to power it with those
external supplies and working without issues. At least now you know that
it is the transformer and nothing else.
