Oh !!!
Well done how much current was it drawing when you were measuring 6 Watts, now you can put a watt meter try FM or CW see if you get 100 Watts.
If the rig draws 20 Amp and you are only getting a few Watts, then the transformer is faulty in some way.
Order a new transformer any way, then you can move with fault finding.
If you saw 6 Watts at the output of the transformer, then why was it not at the aerial socket?

I removed the PA board, separated the transformer and reinstalled the
board
so I could access the transformer output on the top side. See photo
attached.

Yes indeed,
CW or AM would be my preferred option, also you need a PEP Watt
meter.

In SSB mode current draw should be low until audio is being
modulated.
I would expect high current draw when using carrier modes
