My 42-1008 transformer was shorted. I am attempting to replace it with a similar one from a 40-185, which has similar power and # tubes. The only issue is that the 42-1008 has about 12 wires, and this one only has 6 or 7. For example, the rectifier wires are only 2 on the new transformer, but there were 4 on the old. Is there a way to make this work?
