I knew it Ian. We have an English daughter-in-law and have visited England many times. I should have noticed!

Hi Everyone,
If I have 10VDC going into the sidechain transformer, but only 0.003VDC coming out of it, does that mean it probably is wired wrong?

It might or might not indicate a problem. Do you know if the transformer is gapped?
Which model transformer did you go with, and can you give a diagram or description of how you have it wired?

Hi JMan, It is a Sowter 9145
And if is wired as follows:
Primary Blue wire (5 on the designers wiring diagram) to 5 on the PCB
Primary Yellow wire (2 on the designers wiring diagram) to 2 on the PCB
Secondary Red wire (7 on the designers wiring diagram) to 7 on the PCB
This is where it gets weird to me:
Secondary Orange wire (10) AND Black ground wire from the transformer soldered to the wire shield, then the other end of the shield wire is soldered to 10 on the PCB.
If I was to try something out, I would solder the Orange wire to 10 on the PCB and solder the black transformer ground wire to the shield, and solder the other end of the shield to the SH on the PCB.
What do you think?

I checked my email from Sowter and they said the black wire is the screen connection. I don't really know what this means, but I assumed they meant ground.
