I have a Mutronics Mutator in which I would like to change out the 220v transformer to be 120v (because I live in the US).  The transformer specs seems to be unlike anything I can find online due to the fact it requires a total of three secondary power sources: 15v, 15v, and 6v.  Here are the full specs:

Clairtronic Ltd.
TI-64360
Part #: 9853/6
Rating 36VA

Pri: 2x120V
Sec: 2x15v / 1.0 a, 6v / 1.0 a


Any ideas where I can find the correct transformer?
Can I mod an existing transformer?
Can I mod this transformer to accept US 120v power?


Thanks.
 
If I understand you correctly, you have two windings on the primary that for 240 volt working are currently connected in series.  These can be connected in parallel for 120-ish working.

They are connected like this: A-(((((()-B ------- C-(((((()-D for 240 volts

They should be rewired so that they are in parallel, with A connected to C and B connected to D.  Take care that this is so.  Connected the other way the two windings cancel each other out and there will be no output from the transformer.  (Make a drawing of the colors used before you start.)
