Sir Ian Mason . . . . .
I had to go get an extra photo of your "Chicken Kit " so that I could then fully see ALL of its feathers . . . . .a la . . . .

O.K. initially . . . . you have 4 white wires as the primary of that units power transformer and
AM I RIGHT that they had two wires taped together with a bit if black tape, maybe even had them
twisted at their wire ends ?
I am seeing them as being the two SPECIFIC central wires that are needing to be joined, in order to get the two sets of 120vac windings being in series in order to be acepting a FULL 240VAC across the then series aiding windings.
Connecting them that way, and then using the very lowest scale of an ohmmmeter across each of
the assumed 120 VAC windings and then comparing the resistance across the extremes should read twice one windings resistance.
To not take any chances, you can carefully wire up a 60W incandescant lamp in series to make a safe testing of a power up and THEN see if the 110 and 250 VAC windings voltages are THERE after being powered up.
If finding very-very low voltage at the 250 and 120 OR 6.3 VAC windings ONLY one set of 120 V
winding leads need to be reversed. Because the phase reationship is backwards .
I BELIEVE that it will work as first tested, confirming that was the reason for the black tape referencing on the pairing of 2 specific wires.
NOW . . what you have there is a a C13 type of AC connector and the loose power cord, uses its C14 type companion female connector .
On that AC socket unit, that is already mounted on the chassis. Look at it FROM ITS REAR VIEW, with the single BLADE at very top for comparative referencing.
Then that top soldering terminal would be receiving a GREEN wire going to a metal chassis connection for equipment ground.
The bottom left BLADES wire terminal would be the incoming HOT 240VAC that would go to a BROWN wire going to the very tip connection of the fuse holder.
The other side connection of the fuse holder gets another BROWN wire that connects to the CENTER terminal of your mini BLUE cased switch.
EITHER the top or bottom terminal of the switch gets connected to one of the outer WHITE 240 VAC wires.
If you have the ohmmeter handy , flip the AC power switch to where you want its ON position to be, and then check between center switch terminal and the top or bottom switch terminal that shows a short, that will then be the connector of the two that the switch wire to the transformer goes to.
The remaining loose WHITE Wire from the power transformer connnects to the far bottom right BLADE of the AC power socket as the NEUTRAL connection, . . . pray tell . . . where ELSE, could they go . . . its in the book !
The paired white wires get twisted and soldered and taped into a coil, if 120V usage / conversion is
ever needed.
Thassssssit . . . . . now did you real l l l l l l y pay $120 for your Chicken Kit . . . . or $495 for an assembled kit . . . such as some AUDIO-FOOL ! ! ! is asking for one.
