There's 5 pins (5th for keying I guess) with 2 separate windings and I've
just realised the 2nd winding (destination -24V) isn't fed from anywhere.
It's only a 2 sided board and there are no top traces under the part.

There's also some incomplete traces in that circuit so I wonder if there
were planned enhancements for a Mark II that never happened. I'm marking up
the back of the board for my own understanding as I type.

It tests OK in my MOSFET tester.

Initially because of the way it's wired but I'm checking it now. Once I've
marked up where the traces go the picture should be clearer.
