I have a silverface fender champ that needs to be wired for 240v (current 120v).
It has dual windings on the primary and they were wired in parallel (ie. one end of
each winding when to the mains neutral, while the other ends went to the mains
switch).
Regarding wiring these two windings in series, does polarity play into it at all? I
have no documentation on the transformer at all. I am suspecting the answer to
my question is no. I have determined which wires correspond to which windings just
by testing for continuity (disconnected from the neutral and switch obviously).
Just grab one wire off the switch, and connect it to the wire off the mains neutral from
the OTHER mains winding...
IE: We should be seeing continuity between the switch and where these two winds were
joined, and between this join and the mains neutral?
Piece of piss right? Wiring Toriodial's has corroded my decision making as the label has
everything so elegantly laid out!
