I gave them a ring. He basically said: "dunno, maybe a manufacturing defect... maybe the they mixed up the insulation color on the secondaries... Try it in parallel."
Well here's what I did. I pulled apart the center tap so that I once again had dual secondaries. ohm'ed out the secondary windings and I get continuity between green-red, and brown-blue. Which would lead me to believe that I at least indeed have dual secondaries (and the secondaries are not shorted). If the polarities are twisted, could I check this out by trying Green+Blue as my center tap (and ground it) then connect to red and brown? Or would that even matter?
