Yeow! Looks like the big brother to the T11M78 300-500w Multi-Match mod 
transformer I have here. Right down to the nice plated acorn nuts. When 
you get ready to use it Brian, clean it up with a toothbrush and 
cleaner, then use some lemon oil on it. Makes the wrinkle paint look 
like new.

Seems a shame these things get hidden inside and seldom seen. Definitely 
from a time when craftsmanship ruled the day...
