I'm looking in after being preoccupied for a week or so.
In post #28, you said
"Problem is there's no ground on the low voltage side, so I left it off."
Just in case you're working with inaccurate concepts -
There is no such this as 'ground's an AC circuit. That is concept in DC, and its spurious anyway.
In AC you have 'active' and 'neutral' (which is not 'ground). The only ground is the earthing of the chassis to ground for safety. (As ignator mentioned). In transformer, there is no conduction between primary and secondary windings (unless its an autoformer) . Electricity induces magnetism which indices electricity.
So if you left the 'ground' off, you failed to make a circuit.
Ignator also mentioned " there have been schematics that show a transformer with a 6volt output winding. Your transformer does not have this (old or new)."
So what happened to that 6v line - what was it doping? I suspect it was for a6v bulb,made obsolete by some fancy LED replacement (just a guess)
hope that's useful or at least interesting
