Lionel ZW Transformer Complete Disassembly and Rebuild Video (Upgrades and Replacememts)

This is my first ZW transformer and my first ZW transformer repair. I bought this 275 Watt unit on eBay in hope to have a large train table someday. Upon receiving this item it was matted up on the outside but the inside yeilded some repairs.
Before I touched anything inside the transformer, I purchased the Greenberg’s Repair & Operating Manual for Lionel Trains. After reading about the parts, wiring diagram (physical and schematic) and how the ZW comes apart, I felt more confident on repairing the transformer.
First thing I did was LABEL and DOCUMENT ALL WIRES that have to be unsoldered so reassembly can be easy. The coil pack has 6 wires going to the control boards and circuit breaker of the ZW. Once I understood the physical wiring of the transformer, I was ready to work on it. I hope this video can help remove the intimidation on disassembling and repairing a ZW transformer.
Please enjoy the copyright free 1950’s music for a 1950’s model train powerhouse.
