I'm sure this is a dumb question, but pg.35 of the Trinity Tweed manual references a "white wire" from the transformer. I don't see one. I have a blue/black wire and a black wire, but not "third" white wire. Am I just mis-reading the instructions?

I have the eyelet board and OT wired, but I am nervous about testing the PT because of the above issue. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'll attempt to post pictures...

If you look at the layout in the resource section before the IEC connector was in use. There would have been a white neutral wire coming from the bare power cable that was just held in a pinch connector in the chassis . Thats the white wire that would have been connected to the black/black and black/blue wire from the transformer .

in your case that black/black and black/blue just go to the neutral pin of the IEC. . I assume its 120v. . wiring

don't know why in the doc it another wire soldered to the IEC then connected to black/black and black/blue. Maybe a proper colour code for IEC connection

Correct mitch - the manual says "The other side of the IEC socket needs a White or ‘Neutral’ wire that gets routed and soldered to the ‘Common’ side of the power transformer". you need to connct one from the IEC to the Tx wires.
Then "Twist the Black-Blue & Black wires together. Slip some heat shrink tubing over the White neutral wire. "
