I'm working on restoring a Philco Model 90 (2 45's for output, Min-max switch, March 1931). It was recapped but not working when I received it. I was not impressed with the quality of the previous work...

Lack of plate voltage to the first 45 (the second 45 is getting 243V at the plate) led me to look at the speaker output transformer wiring. I'm convinced that the wiring is not correct and also that the output transformer is bad. The transformer is a Jefferson Electric 2766J but I have no info on its wiring layout. Checking continuity between leads shows pretty much everything open. There are 2 end connection lugs on each side with center wires also on each side. One side has a black center wire, the other is red (or orange?). Does anyone have any info on which is primary/secondary and start/finish/center tap?

I'm looking at the Hammond 125C as a replacement for this transformer. Other threads lead me to believe it will work in this context.

I'd appreciate any advice!
