The wires are not spliced. Someone put heat shrink tube on the wires where they exit the transformer. I can feel the wires in there are smooth.. no solder joints. The unit is not burned, but I do see some melted wax on the inside cover. Unsure that was as a result of my problem or is causing the problem.

Either way, both sides of the power inputs are NOT equal to the CT, so something is not right with the transformer. I also have continuity between the two power leads(1&2) unsure if normal.

I found someone selling the same one for $15 and ordered it. It is said to be good so will check it out when it arrives. Hoping that solves all my problems here. Will keep you posted on progress in the next few days. If anyone knows someone who can rewind my transformer I think it is worthwhile to do so.
