FRANCE NEON SIGN TRANSFORMER

[Roy Buskirk]

I have an older FRANCE PG-1 Series neon sign transformer. It is a type that contains a SCGFP potted module in top compartment of transformer. There are a number of leads originating from the potted transformer, which I am trying to identify.

3 of the leads, black, white and green, ring out as extensions from the input power posts. This is the 120 VAC supply to the unit.

There are 4 remaining leads
(1) blue,
(1) blue with white stripe,
(1) orange,
(1) orange with black stripe

Can anyone tell me what these 4 leads do and how to reconnect them, once the SCGFP potted module is removed.
My purpose is to convert this transformer for use as a Fractal Wood Burning System
Thank you - Roy

**I doubt that it will deliver sufficient current to burn wood. Use a
(couple of) microwave oven transformers.

Better yet, don't even try. It's super dangerous.

**Oh yeah. There is that.

 I'm assuming since its old, it is all wire.

No Idea, but is there continuity between blue and bl/wh ?

B/W and OR?

Or and OR/W?

Which ones have the highest resistance?

 Does BL and BL/W have equal resistance to OR and OR/W?

 Curious minds want to know.

 No answer, oh well.

 Yesterday while cleaning and rearranging my shed/shop, I ran across
several

Neon sign transformers. One of them is a France! It's not the one you
list though,

and only has two in and two out.
