    Yes, the secondary wires are green and black. I've mentioned them in my previous post (wired: green to speaker jack tip, black to ground), but I've obviously got a lot more to learn (about tube amp terminology and technology) and English is not my first language, so I guess sometimes I'm not as clear as I could be - sorry.

    I did already email TAD, but they won't answer until Monday probably. But you've made the correspondence between the primary and secondary wires pretty clear, so if I had to get it done quickly it wouldn't be much of a gamble. As it stands, I have to wait anyway for a new batch of resistors I've ordered to replace the ones in the kit that changed resistivity more than what the tolerance band spec'd - so hurying to solder the output transformer wires won't make much of a difference with regard to the power-on day. I'm just trying to ask questions and learn as much as possible.

    Thank you, I really appreciate your help! If you ever write a book about tube amps, autograph the first copy for me and let me know where to send the money.
