Just for the sake of conversation here are some resistance measurements from the old (fried) transformer. Pretty weird!!
First I notice that none of the windings are color coded like my replacement. Merit had sense enough to group the windings in code. Like wire colors are seperate windings in this crazy thing. You get infinity across all but yellow to yellow.
Now between the Blue/yellow stripe to a Black I measure .7 ohms, 1.4 on the other set.
Between a Brown and one of the Blue stripes I measure .4 ohms, same on other.
Between one Yellow and a Green stripe I get 9.2, to the other yellow I get 14.2. This is weird because my measurement between the two yellows was 15.2.
I thought I had found the winding with center tap. Actually I probably have but I must remember that I am taking measurements from a faulty unit.
No wonder in the beginning I was having trouble taking resistance measurements. I was trying to match colors as far as windings go. Live and learn....
