I am glad that you went through this...but I'm still not sure why this happened to your set. I do agree that the transformer that was normally supplied with 208 was changed to 120v with my wire movements, but I thoroughly tested the set that I converted in the video...and output was NOT reduced...
Well...I can't locate an EXACT replacement...you might call Afcon, give them the part number, and ask if they can help you:

Keep in mind that L2-L3 is designed to have different voltage outputs (via the voltage reconnection board) from the factory. When in 120/208...
I took a quick look at the schematic and can't figure out why that change would have caused the excessive current flow that damaged your transformer. I will need to spend a few minutes thinking things over! I know for sure that quite a number of people have completed the conversion exactly as...
