Print that image to an ink-jet printer in B&W. It should be about the size you want for the B&K.
Take that print to Staples or Office Depot and have them print it to a transparency. Ask for extra contrast if necessary.
They will print it on a laser printer to the transparency film. The last one I had done cost about 60 cents. Cut down to fit.
If you print to transparency film on an ink-jet printer, the image will rub off.

Got it...thank you so much! Mine came with a set of transparancies but some of them are not optimal even after cleaning. I will try your suggestion...after I get it to work

I had the yoke fail on mine-the cement used to secure the windings corroded through and caused an open circuit. I was able to strip away the bad outer windings and got it working. The hardest part was getting it apart. You should be able to use your wiring diagram to ring out the individual coils in your yoke without removing anything. I rang mine out from wiring tie points on the underside of the 1077b chassis.
