BIg question, how heavy is it? Should be 12-17 pounds, depending on how many secondaries and what current they are. I got a postage scale from an antique shop to check these things. I have 2 lights that go over the sink, one takes 4 lamps, one takes 3. All the lamps are connected in series, the most I can put on them is 840 volts. I have a bunch of 15, 25, 40, 43(60 watt halogen), 55(75 watt halogen) and 60 watt lamps to put a load on the transformer under test. Let it cook for 4 hours and see how hot it is.
How big is it? When one of the dimensions get to 6 inches, it's a big transformer.
At first I wanted to be a ET. Now I are one.
