I am building a pair of Paramounts, but noticed the OT-1 transformers looked different from the image in the current manual. I've attached a photo of the two OT-1 transformers that I have.
Do I have the wrong transformer or can I follow the written instructions in the current manual v1.1,07-23-13 and simply ignore the picture?

I get up every morning determined both to change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning the day difficult.

Hello Bryce,

We apologize, but our winder has inserted the transformer into the channel frames upsidedown.

You can follow the instructions to the letter, just be mindful of the transformer terminal numbers, as those are correct above all else.  (You can flip your transformer over if you'd like to use the picture)
