peterthetrumpeter,
Where do you live?
Are you using a 110 volt transformer on 220 volt mains?

In which case, do you have them in parallel and 'in phase'?
Black to Green and Black/White to Green/White.

Good point. So I wired them as described in the schematics, striped wires together, "full" wires together. Does that also mean that they are in phase?

I will check the wiring at the switch and fuse when I get home.
Can a short between the speaker binding posts and chassis or RCA and chassis cause an overloading of the PT?

Speaker connections shorted, unlikely to burn the power transformer. RCAs shorted, will not harm anything - that's how the volume pot works.Can a short between the speaker binding posts and chassis or RCA and chassis cause an overloading of the PT?
Yes, wired that way is 'in phase' and correct for 120 volt mains.I wired them as described in the schematics, striped wires together, "full" wires together. Does that also mean that they are in phase?
