this is a 4x21V + 2x15V transformer. two and two sec. are internaly wired in series.
then you get 2x42V and a midpoint betwin the sec. where you get 2x21V
black is sentertap. the blue-black wires are the midpoint betwin those 2 sec. red-black wires are 2 sec in series
What do you think of separating the secondaries to get 2x 21v-0-21v?

It looks like maybe it was made for that.
What does the PCB tell you about that?
And what does it tell you about current capacities?

I no longer have the amp PCB... The AC PCB has a 4A fuse (T4AL250) and the amp PCB had a couple of 5A fuses (T5AL250).

no. that will require opening up the transformer and cut the winding at the centertap and split it in two.
I took a close look, won't need to cut the winding, just de-solder a pair of wires.no. that will require opening up the transformer and cut the winding at the centertap and split it in two.
One red, one blue (pair of wires) and one side of the black (pair of wires) are a yellowish emmanel wire the other red, blue (pair of wires) and side of the black (pair of wires) are redish emmanel wire.So it looks like it does have 4 secs and can be split to 2 center tapped 21/0/21.
I just realized that the PCB has markings on the mains.
Blue 0v
Brown 110v
Orange 240v
White 220v
Red 127v
So I'm guessing it is a multi-tap. I'll make a dim bulb tester and see what I get.
Thanks guys.
did you test with the leads disconnected to the board? if that is the case then the primary is easy, just use the blue and the orange wire and you're done...
