Anybody buy a plexi kit recently and it came with the dual tap power transformer (standup)? The wiring does not match the diagram so I'm stuck.
Here are the colors.

Left Side:
Violet
Red
Blue
Orange

Right side:
Red
Red
Blue
Blue
Yellow
Green
White
Black

Green/Yellow

Thanks

Rockstah, thanks for the fast response. Looking at your pic vs. mine if they are the same. The only wires unaccounted for on mine are the red wires. But if you look at the diagram the blues are for the bias and there is no green and white. So by method of deduction, my red wires = your blue/yellow wires. What do you think, should I start soldering?

i would wait for someone that has this particular color code before soldering anything./

Sorry for the confusion. I am standardizing the transformers I offer to make things easier. I'll have just one standup and one laydown PT for 67 and up 100 watts. Both will include the extra voltage taps.

Your wiring should be:

bias white and green

HT:

yellow CT

blue/blue normal high voltage

red/red 80% tapped high voltage.

Hi George,

Does this image show the color coding of the new standardized upright power tranny correctly? I've been confused by this myself with my new kit, being a newbie to Metro.

Is the number right? Let me know if I need to correct anything.

Thanks,

Ian
