The thicker red wires are what's called the filament wiring. It supplies around 6.3 volts at high current to the magnetrons filament. The other smaller black wire is the HV out, and the ground for that wire is the actual transformer itself. (you can kind of see it riveted onto the core)
Be careful when you power it up. Don't touch the iron itself or you could very easily electrocute yourself!

the red wires do nothing
the black one is hot and the core it ground
hot to ground is where your high voltage

@HighVoltageScience By core do you mean the copper spining or something else. I tried to find a wire connected to it but there isn't anything. How should I make a ground wire so I can connect it to the hot for high voltage?

reds are your primary and make 3 volts ac and the black is hot and the core is ground
the bottom winding is the primary and that is were your house power goes in
ps make sure you ground the core
its a deadly mistake

@HighVoltageScience Hey HVS thank you for responding. So I connect 1 of the reds and the black to make the high voltage power supply correct? And the black is the high voltage, true? The core is screwed down to the housing by the manufacturer, is that considered grounded or do i need to do something else to ground the core?
