Carver M-200t idle current high

Interesting labels concerning sold at military club....must have left factory set up for 200V.
Do the T2 primary wire colors and locations look correct for 110V set up.
As well the jumper locations.

confirmed T2 primary wire colors and location are correct
 
Got back on this. I should have done this years ago.
Disconnected the 25V and 55V secondarys (magcoil) from the bridge rectifiers on the PCB.
The on/off switch for the 12V housekeeping transformer is off (open).
Short triac MT1 to MT2.
Turn up variac and there is a large current draw at 10VAC to 20VAC 1- 2A.
0.6VAC 40mA
10VAC 1A
20VAC 2A
Disconnect short from triac and no current is drawn.
Removed four primaries and 4 secondaries.
This magcoil has the split primary.
Put VAC to each of the two primary windings and got high current quickly on both of them.
Secondaries are floating.

Do you know where I might locate magcoil for this amp?
