VECTOR: Asteroids Deluxe 6.3VAC weirdness

Working an Asteroids Deluxe upright. Looking at the schematics, the only places the 6.3VAC is used is on the monitor connection (monitor fillament voltage) and the coin door. When both connectors are unplugged, I measure 6.3 on both connectors. But should I plug either one (or both) in, the voltage immediately drops to zero at all locations (connectors and transformer). Any ideas? I believe the 6.3 doesn't come out of the audio reg, it's direct from the transformer, so it's not the audio reg. I guess I can try another transformer, unless someone may have a tip on what to look for on this transformer. Which leads me to one other question, is there a quick/easy guide to identify the different Atari transformer blocks (i.e., b/w raster, b/w x/y, color raster, color x/y)? Thanks, Joe [email protected]
