Well, I got to the Ham Swap meet a bit late today (darn GPS!) but I managed to pick up a nice Precision 192 tube tester in very good condition, and a good price. Nice wooden box, too. So not a total loss! I got back to looking at the 2766J output transformer and deconstructed it a bit to see if I could figure out the true connections. The secondary connections were obvious when I saw what I was looking at, and they are NOT open, they work just fine. However, the primary side still is connected only between one of the 3 possible combinations. The other 2 combinations are infinite ohms...To see if I could understand it better, I attached my variable AC and monitored the input and output voltages. For the one good combination, I got 1V out at the secondary for 15 volts in. So something is very skewed if this should be a 100:1 turn ratio. Long story short, a Hammond 125C is on order and will arrive in a couple of weeks. Thanks again for all your input.
