    No C wire connection in SR 506 zone control

    I gave up on this Google Nest Thermostat. (Mirrored face) I took the board out and traced to the other side of the 24vac transformer and soldered a jumper to it. I sent this up to the thermostat and had 24vac between R & C but the thermostat changed it's error from N260 to N261. Both meaning...

    No C wire connection in SR 506 zone control

    Looking to install a Google Nest thermostat and it says I need a power source. I have an older SR 506 from Sweet Controls in CT and there is no connections for a C wire, only T-T for each thermostat. Is there any way to get a C wire on this panel? TIA, Bob
