Here is my follow up from my Getaway, I never really realized my service box and transformer wiring were hacked so badly. I was reading up on installing a service outlet and realized what had been done, when I opened up the service box it was worse than I thought. Some people had asked me to document this so they could do the same to their machine so here goes nothing..

I decided to draw this out based on the schematics to help realize where everything goes. I'm far from an expert so please do your own research before attempting this on your own. Vid had a nice guide and I would recommend reviewing that too.

Here is what I was dealing with the transformer, cut wires attached with wire nuts

This is the way it should be...

Inside the service box was another story, the Varistor had been cut so I purchased a new 130v, you can get one here...

I purchased a new clip in service outlet and new 12' AC power cord from Marco..
