From a smashed VCR I plucked out its transformer that's got two primary
taps and three secondary. Using the consistency checker on my DMM it looks
like all three secondary taps are connected together. Something tells me
that this means one of the three is center tapped, and to avoid shorting
the mains when I use the transformer, I need to find out which one is the
center one.
Is this possible to do with a DMM? I learned how to find the primary and
secondary windings using the resistance meter on my DMM, but I do now know
how to find a center tap in a winding.
