I hooked it up, finished it and plugged it in and nothing happened. Sorry for all the questions.
From looking up searches what I gather when wiring the Toroid transformer.

Yellow and red go together to common.
black and violet go the hot through the fuse (.315 A)
chasis goes to ground (bottom prong on socket) from chasis to ground on one of the input xlr's.

Red and brown go to the middle hookup on the PCB
green goes to the one most nearest the corner
blue goes to the other side

Is this correct?
 
That stinks,
I used an Amveco I bought from Digikey. Of course no color coding info was sent with the transformer
 
Thanks,
This is what it looked like. Does it seem as though my wiring is right?



Primary........................Secondary

Yellow ------------------ Green

Black -------------------- Red
Red ----------------------- Brown

Violet --------------------- Blue
 
Post a link to the GSSLPC layout. I can show you how to wire up that Amveco.

In the meantime print this out.

Without looking at the SSL plan, that seems right for Ohio power.

Is the fuse blown?

If fuse is blown, disconnect most of the secondary wires and try again with a new fuse. On 120V power you may need 0.5A fuse just to cover transformer losses.

Do you have a voltmeter? Set to AC Volts and carefully check the voltage on each secondary winding. It should be about whatever the transformer is rated, maybe 20%-30% higher no-load.
