So I went through this whole hassle of trying to devine the secondaries. The label only says "br-re/or-ye" corresponding to brown, red, orange and yellow. So after playing with the DMM it seemed red and orange should be tied together. This was a while ago so I don't remember what all I did to determine this.
So I wired it up in my AKSA 55 and went to turn it on and I cannot get any voltage out of the secondaries. I thought maybe having them plugged into the power supply board might make it difficult to read so I unplugged them from the board. Now I basically have them only connected by their primaries and I can't get 25V out of the secondaries to save my life.
Did I somehow manage to destroy my transformers?

Did they ever hum or blow a fuse or anything when you fed them power? If not, it seems somehow unlikely.
No noise or smoke and the fuse did not blow.
Uhh.. I think I found the problem. Enameled wire. The secondaries I tied together aren't really tied together because of the enamel.
I'll get back to you.

Ahh, that makes sense. The chances of frying the transformer without any noticeable explosion, smoke, or blown fuse seem pretty slim.
