240V Power transformer question

[sheeny]

Hi Boogie people,

I have a question regarding the pending 110v to 240v PT conversion of my Lonestar Special. (actually two, but I'll get to the second one in a minute).

I have successfully completed this procedure on two previous amps with no problems. I just want to check this one first.

I have all the cables accounted for with my Mercury Magnetics replacement except the 110V primary cluster has a white cable with a black stripe as well? Is that necessary? I have the primary black (MM 240v PT black?) and a white (MM 240v Violet?) covered I think, as they seem to trace to the switch & supply input etc... so I'm guessing they are ok?

I have attached a 4 page pdf ( hi res images) URL if anyone can assist.

OK, second question...

I also want to use high quality spade connectors (or similar) and heatshrink them instead of soldering directly to the board. That way I leave the original board connections untouched and then the original 110v PT can be replaced quite easily if required. Is that a wise move?

Looking forward to some helpful comments!!

John.

OK, all good.

• + White with black stripe is redundant.
  
  + Black is active (Violet on replacement MM PT)
  
  + White is Neutral (Black on replacement MM PT)

Correct me if you believe I am wrong.
