Well, upon reviewing the diagram and rechecking my measurements, I see that the "common" side of the RCA connector is tied to the low side of the primary. The "middle" of the primary is connected to the "hot" terminal of the RCA connector. The top end of the primary seems to connect to nothing since that pin shows nothing tied to it If I'm seeing it correctly.

The secondary of this transformer has the low end also tied to the common of the primary and to chassis ground via the connector when plugged into the chassis. The upper end of the secondary is connected to the grid of the amp tube via a .002 cap.

Since the cable assembly I have is just a broken, cumbly uneven cable, should it be OK to just remove those two pair of wires and put in a couple lengths of light gauge mike wire. It would be a shield and center conductor. Since this application has the shield and common wire basically tied together by being connected to ground, would that work alright?

I would think I could just diregard that upper lead of the primary since it goes nowhere. Maybe I have this wrong so would appreciate any help you could offer.

I think I will just "hardwire" the end that goes into the chassis since there is no mating connector there... just has that "Motorola" type jack on the chassis (guess I would tie the "hot" side of the secondary to that jack center terminal).

Thanks again for any help...
Best regards,
