Acurite had no idea what the secondary windings were meant to be.
I checked all the component specifications around the transformer connection to the pcb. Ie. the power supply section for maximum and minimum voltage requirements. All indicated that around 6V should be ok, so I found a 6.3V transformer - see photo. Obviously, if you are in the US you need a 110V primary. It has been working for around 8 months now.
So, if you have no other faults, maybe this is for you. I measured the output of my old transformer and it was 0V.

Your board looks different to mine, so a component voltage check would be advisable - in particular, the Voltage regulator (small black component with 3 pins). I think the output was 5V and 6.3V was within the input range of the one on my board. I can send more photos or go into more detail if required.
Many electronic component stores should be able to supply. I got mine from Jaycar - not sure if it is in the US.
