In order to get the caps out, ya gotta slide em out to the right at least past the strap, so ya gotta take the driver board loose and let it dangle on the near side. Keep those nuts separate, they're metric...

Ok, top pic of the transformer. The brown and blue/yellow stripe wires are the 2 main primary wires. I see some melt on the wires. Inspect those and put some heatshrink over em if they look really thin or there are exposed wire.


The black wire is the transformer secondary center tap and that is what you will solder the terminal end i supplied to. the two red wires are the tranformer secondary wires that go to the bridge rectifier. They will go in the opposite corners that the other wires coming off the BR and go to the front of the caps. The holes in the BR tabs are open and will accept the secondary( red) wires after you strip a little more insulation from them.


The orange and yellow wires in the 2nd tranny pic are the low voltage winding for the merter drive and LED light board. they go to the SMALL BLUE and WHITE chassis wires on the terminal strip. They are AC and the order doesn't matter to them. The two wires soldered together, the blue and brown/ yellow stripe are the inner taps for the twin 120 windings on the primary winding . the need to stay together and go to the 2nd tab closest to you that is between the2 BIG BLUE and WHITE chassis wires.
The brown and blue/yellow stripe wires will go where the 2 BIG BLUE and WHITE chassis wires are. Makes no difference which one they go to.

Now is a good time to strip a little more insulation off those wire ends and get em dressed up to go.

I'll check them, what is heat shrink?
