The problem with transformers is the really big ones that allow for transmission and sub transmission. These are really big transforms they are made to order, from Korea now, and need up to 1 year lead time when everything is working. No one keeps spares on hand. When one of these big ones goes out the power company uses smaller obsolete, retired, truck mounted transformers to run the sub station at reduced capacity. Power companies rent them from each other if they can't fill the need in house.
