]I'm installing a new power transformer, model EG-TWK15-P/U I just received from Mercury Magnets replacing the original equipment xsfrmr.

I was hoping someone could help me on the wiring connections

The original primary side has Blk,Wht, Blu, Brn, by following your schematic included from Mercury I believe I should connect the mercury Brn/wht and Wht to the wire the Blk from the original was connected(not actually because I am bypassing the 3way voltage swich so I'm going directly to the red wire connected to the on/off switch)

And I should connect the Blk and Brn wires from the mercury xsfrmr to the white wire connected to the on/off switch.

I am capping off the Blk/wht wire from the mercury xsfrmr primary as per your schematic and instructions

Here's my main problem IF I'm correct above;

The original xsfrmr has 6 wires for the secondary, 2 each of Grn, Red, Blk
The mercury has 2 each of Grn and Red, only one Blk and one grn/blk center tap

I'm guessing I should hook the two reds to the two reds.

My first inclination was to hook up the 2 grns to the 2 grns but upon further inspection I'm not sure

And even if that was right that leaves 2 black wires that were connected to the original xsfrmr

Has anybody done this swap and know the answers to wiring hook up?

I have included pics to show you where I'm at
