Well I have the Merit replacement. I am going to need some help from someone who can pinpoint where each secondary leg will go. Reason being the replacement has a different color code. If I had a GOOD schematic I could look at where the various voltages are applied. For now I have no correct schematic. I have a Sams for a similar RCA and it does not show the voltages. The Merit replacement is quite a bit smaller as the end bells are not as tall, but it looks like it mounts up the same. Its a Merit P-0370 and the supplier insured me that it was a direct/drop in replacement. I hope he was right!

Even the way the color code breakdown on the box is confusing. I think it has something to do with the center tap. You can plainly see that black is 117 VAC, Green is 6.3v, yellow is 5v @3A, brown is 6.3v @2.7a. The two reds and the red/yellow say 350-350 vac @ 225 m.a.d.c.

If anyone can help pinpoint my connections and/or verify that this transformer is correct it would be greatly apreciated. Also some explanation of the red and red/yellow wires would be nice. Does this have to do with a "center tap"?

Thanks folks!!
