I have salvaged a power transformer from a Fender Bassman 10. However, it appears to be the same unit used in the Bassman 70 schematic:

First:
I am confused as to the layout of the power supply, especially the two brown wires in the fixed-bias supply.
Am I correct to assume that one of the brown wires would go to the reverse-diode, and the other to ground? I ask because the fender transformers that I have experience with usually only have a single bias tap, and this has two wires.
Second:
I want to use this transformer in possibly a 6G- type fender circuit, possibly the concert 6g12. It appears powerful, measures 388VAC across B+ lines. But I have no idea of its current handling abilities. Just wondering if anybody has that spec., or any positive experience using this type of PT.
