1930 Philco transformer question
#2

You might have a power transformer from a Model 76. Part no. 3868. It has three wires in addition to the solder terminals.

Two of the wires are the 110 volt primary winding; the third is the center tap for the high voltage secondary winding (lead "B" on schematic) .

Using your multimeter, you will be able to tell which two of the three wires are the primary leads.

You'll also need to know what terminal is for what purpose. Using the picture below, here is what each terminal is for:

1 - High voltage center tap
2 - Center tap of winding "C" (filament voltage to the 45 tubes and pilot lamp)
3 & 4 - Filament winding for 24 & 27 tubes
5 & 6 - Filament winding for 45 tubes
7 & 10 - High voltage secondary
8 & 9 - Filament winding for 80 tube
