I acquired as junk a "dead" Lionel LW transfomer. After replacing the power cord it now lights up but power is not getting through the throttle to the tracks. Using a multimeter, whether the throttle is open or closed, the voltage output readings for all "U" connections (U-B, U-A1, U-A2, U-C) are all 1 volt or less,
BUT the B-A1 and B-A2 reading s are 20 volts and the B-C reading at full throttle is 15 volts. I also measured the voltage from the wire feeding the circuit breaker to the binding posts with the following readings: B post 20V, A1 and A2 posts 0V, and C post 15V. (The A1 and A2 posts are connected to the circuit breaker directly.)
Could someone please point me in the right direction to cure this. Obviously the core is putting out the correct voltage. The wires seem to be in decent shape and connections are strong. For some reason the power is not getting through the U-A1, U-A2, U-B, and U-C circuits.
Please help! Thanks!
