You are better off with the original replacement; believe me. As long as your replacement looks identical (as it should) to what you take out, just solder everything back together EXACTLY as it was removed. Sometimes it helps to mark the wires so you don't remove the old unit and then draw a blank when you go hook up the new one. I have drawn pictures, used model car paint for color coding, as well as colored tape. I feel that I must tell you that many times when a tranformer of any kind has fried, there is usually some other component that has gone bad (CAPACITOR) and has caused the tranformer to overheat and burn up. Replacing the result of a problem will not take away the problem. Just trying to help. Oh for anyone else looking a Thordarson FLY-5 is their "multi-purpose" unit for 70 deg tubes.

What keeps you from putting the replacement in?
