In this application:

  • The "COM" terminal corresponds to the orange, common primary connection in the instructions.
  • Terminals 6,7 and 8 are the high voltage secondary. 7 is the center tap, which gets grounded. 6 and 8 go to the diode bridge terminals marked AC (~). And 6 also supplies raw voltage to the bias circuit.
  • Terminals 9,10 and 11 are the 6.3V AC heater supply. 10 gets grounded. 9 ans 11 correspond to the green wires in the instructions and go to V5, pins 2 and 7.
  • Terminals 12 and 13 are not used.
  • The Teflon coated wires (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) are AC primary taps. The correct voltage tap (see diagram) should be connected to the power switch.
