I think you can download the 3k/5k manual from BAMA and it will associate
the Transformers with models. I think yours is for the 3k Classic Console
Amp for Export, if I remember correctly. I can look when I get home tonight.
It is in the book. It is not always "Gospel" so-to-speak. Henry played fast
and loose for several years. You can find the 5k transformers in 2k and 3k
and you can find the weaker transformers in the models marked X that really
were not export. Most of those did not have the 10 meter position. But even
that is not a hard and fast rule. I think they built what the customer
wanted (refreshing). I purchased several amps over the years and none was
exactly what the manual said because what I wanted was what they wanted to
build. Lots of 8ks out there with 3k face plates.

Already ohmed it out.
It turns out that all 5 of the threaded terminals are the secondary.
Therefore, I'll probably put like 25.2 volts on the secondary and go from
there. It will be a whole lot easier to determine just which of the primary
windings are for which voltage.

If you don't find any info on the transformer hook a 12 volt filament
transformer up to the primary and measure the secondary. The 3000 volt
winding should read around 300 volts or so.
You could ohm it out first but be sure to short out the primary with a clip
lead first so you don't zap your meter.
