This new mail carrier is driving me to drink. I finally picked up the new transformer waiting for me at the post office.
I was hoping there would be some sort of diagram with it explaining which wire is which, but no dice. The new part has five wires like the old one... two are green, a black, a red, and a blue. From looking at the schematic, it looks like the two greens are for the 71A tubes, the black goes to point #1 on the filter condenser block, then red and blue are for the 27 tube and the bakelite block. I don't want to hook this up wrong and kill myself or fry my radio! Which color wires match up to which of the old interstage transformer wires? My knowledge isn't currently enough for me to figure it confidently.
Photos of old and new are below.
