peter	Re: Restaurating a '65 Pro Reverb - Trannie help What you need to do is use an ohmmeter to find out which of those wires go in pairs (or three in the case of center-tapped winding). The tube rectifier needs the two red HV wires to its two plates, and two white filament windings to its cathode/heater. The output also connects to one of those. Notice that the heater for the rectifier is then at a high DC voltage, which is why it gets its own separate heater winding on the tranny.
