Hi Dan, Coilers,

It should work just fine, provided you get the phasing of the
two transformers correct.  One other thing you could do just
to ensure a proper balance between the two transformers is
to connect the common primary leads to power neutral, which
will virtually apply the rated 120 Volts to each primary.
