Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - upgrading to a mercury magnetics transformer....

Hi all, I just got my MM output tranny in this morning for my Cobra. Im really excited about the install because I want to either do it myself (with some help from a Full Sail instructor on campus) but I was also wondering if someone here could explain the process so Ill know a little bit better of what to expect before i even go in to ask for some help. I guess I just like to be a little over prepared.

From what Im seeing, it looks like there is a +.-, and a brown wire coming from the MM transformer and 4 more wires on the opposite side. (Im assuming each is tapped into a tube, or to an impedence selector based on something I read in a tube guitar essentials book). So can someone explain to me exactly how this is wired up in case Im way off?

And secondly, I ordered a choke with the tranny too, so any instructions there would be helpful as well. And if you guys have any pictures to go along with it, those always help.
