Draw a winding schematic, showing colours and DC resistance between terminals, then we'll suggest how to test it.
Also post EI iron external size, as witdth A, height B and stack thickness to estimate power .

Juan's a guru on these types of things...so I'll definitely be interested in keeping up with your reply and info to him to see what shakes out!
But in the meantime, I think you're on the right track.
Looks *very much* like a Partridge transformer to me. And those were used in Sound City amps (as well as others).
There's a site that I have bookmarked (that I jumped back to compare) and it has some shots that seem to confirm initial suspicions.
There's some pics of a Sound City 120R output tranny (far right in pic) that bears a very similar wiring/color pattern on the left, however, I'm not seeing any green pair on the right.
But the internal chassis pic (top right corner) of that output tranny does show a brown pair, an orange pair, a red pair, and possibly a yellow pair as well (hard to tell with the size of that pic).
Anyways, hope this helps. Will be watching to see what pans out! =)
PS: FWIW, it would seem that the late-60's Partridge transformers didn't have the holes in the wiring plates, and the ones from the 70's do. So that might also help "date it" (or get closer anyways).Start simple...then go deep!

Thanks for the replies fellas,
I should mention someone has labelled the OPT with red ink
It says
black - 0
orange- 4
green - 8
brown - 16
red - 100v
red- plate
black - center tap
orange- plate
maybe this will solve the mystery?
