Hope someone can help me id this power transformer and specifically how to wire it for 120V. It has 6 leads on the 2 primary cores, and my very limited knowledge tells me that this is to simplify wiring it for 240V power source.
But I need it wired for 120V for my DAC
Also, when testing with a multimeter I get about 3.7 ohms between red and white leads, but nothing between black and red or white. Does it mean something is wrong with it?
Thanks!

I expect you should be able to measure a resistance around 15-25 ohm between black and red or black and white.
Oxide to be removed first?
Seems to produced quite some years ago and might have some oxide on the ends that you better remove before measuring.

Yeah, I get no continuity or resistance when measuring between the black and any of the other 2 wires. And there's no output voltage on the secondary windings when it's plugged in. So there's a good chance that this transformer is in fact dead, and I appreciate the confirmation.
If anyone has any ideas about where I could find the exact or similar replacement, please let me know!

Yes, probably dead after that description.
Not easy to find a standard transformer with these values so you might need to ask for a single special unit, and it's quite hard to find a manufacturer that willing to do that for you.
I buy mine from Toroidy in Poland which deliver a single unit for you, but I have never asked for special values.
Doesn't hurt to ask them.
Worst case it's a no thanks.
