Why would yopu short out a transformer winding ??

[Boborann]

I'm restoring a Seeburg 100B Jukebox and ran across the strangest thing
There is a 5Volt winding on a transformer that appears to be intentionally
shorted at times
There are two switches that short out the winding one on the carrige assy
and another that shorts it whenever you have a selection picked in tyeh pin
assembly
I'm planning on ordering the manual but the wiring is all original and I
baffled as to why you would do this
Thanks

Appologies for the dumb post I Missed the real problem which was a prior
"repair " where someone swapped the wires on a connector and connected the
lamp to the control circuit and the control circuit to the lamp winding on
the transformer
Lesson learned assume nothing and trust your instincts
