Willie,

DIY ?? With Ohm meter, locate and record on paper all the continuous windings, denoting DCRs. The very lowest DCRs will be Ef windings. The next lowest, in the area of 1.0 to 2.2 Ohms will likely be Primary Winding. The HV secondary will be high in Ohms, 50 to 150 Ohms and center tapped likely.

With a Varaic, apply a small VAC ( eg : 10 VAC input ) to what you THINK is the primary, and measure all the other windings for their VACs. YOU can get it if you are methodical and careful and document it all well.

Have fun. Be safe.

I think Early Bender at HiFi Town has a ton of KS numbers cataloged.
