Identify giant transformer from 1978 tape reel
MarkF:
I found a RTT-116 transformer on eBay. It only has one primary winding.
So, we can not use it as a wire color reference.
I am beginning to think @soldar is right...
BLK and BRN for 120V
BLK and VLT for 220V
BLK and GRY for 240V

Maybe two primaries for 120V or 240V operation?
pg.59 says power transformer part no. RTT-115

The AC line in Japan is 100 volts so one extra primary tap might be for that. I recall Japanese hi fi equipment that had a 100 volt tap for domestic consumption

Thanks.
I thought there was another standard voltage that I've seen as selectable on some equipment.
(i.e. 100VAC / 120VAC / 220VAC / 240VAC)

You are correct.
100 VAC is the household voltage in Japan.
MarkF:
A little bored. So, I thought I would summarize our findings.
It hasn't been obvious but the BLU to YEL winding could be used for another 30VAC.
