Just finished getying my houses lit up on my FS. Never touched the transformer before but with
Playfield up I did brush agaibst it and was quite warm. Not skillet hot but could not hold my hand on it. Just to be sure, I took pics of how the wiring is jumped as this might be a re-import from overseas. I know how to jumper The regular connection (learned the hard way). Not sure how to do this one.

Also, any other reasons it could be that hot?

Pens point to the wire that is looped or jumped. White wire from outlet is tied to all 3 feeds into box and same for black

If the transformer is for different hertz than it's getting now, they get real hot.

Assuming you are in the US or Canada.
Pin 1 is connected to 12
2 connected to 3
7 connected to 10
and 8 to 9

Quoted from LTG:

If the transformer is for different hertz than it's getting now, they get real hot

Transformers do not care what hertz you are supplying them. They divide up the incoming voltage not the frequency
