Just a quick query as to the way you're winding the coils...

How are you connecting the primaries? Parallel or Series?

The reason why I ask is, by having the two primaries in the same 
direction and connected in series, then, winding each secondary in opposite 
directions, this will send the phases out by 180 degrees. With this 
setup, you can connect the primaries in series or parallel, and only have 
to change the tappings...(where turns in series < turns in parallel)

This configuration was passed onto me by Ed Wingate.

I have not seen the configuration you outlined in your design...

Anyway, just a suggestion...

Catchya!
