Hi all, the manual (page 20) tells me to twist the green wires on the transformer together and connect to terminals 1 and 2.  However my transformer doesn't have leads, just terminals.  What terminals on the transformer am I wiring to terminal strip connections 1 and 2?



Oh, tip for others I found that a hemostat makes a nice heatsink to avoid melting the power switch.

Last, I'm glad I took the advise of others and bought the Cardas Quad Eutectic solder... very smooth stuff.

Shoot, when I converted to manual to PDF recently I probably left out the sheet of updates for the later transformer. The green wires on the old transformer were connected to the heater secondary, which corresponds to the terminals labeled 6.3VAC on the new transformer.

Doc,

Congrats on the conversion.  I thought the Seduction would remain a paper manual.  I am, gladly, wrong.  I know the time it takes you to put together the manuals so I applaud your efforts.

BTW, for those who will look for them, the last time I looked Radio Shack still sold hemostats.
