[Boatanchors] LS-183

[Ernie Rader]

Good evening, Gents!!

I’m in need of advice from those of you far more educated in the area of boatanchors than me.  I was given a power transformer out of a working home brew amplifier that used a single 4-1000A in the RF deck.  The transformer is in working order, or at least it was at the time of the pull.  On one side of the transformer are two poles with “3,000” between them, and another couple with “3,500” between them, and a single pole with “CT” next to it positioned between the two pairs.  All of this is quite self-explanatory to me.

On the other side of the transformer are 8 additional poles; I assume they’re for varying degrees of 110vac or 220 vac.  The transformer feels like it weighs about 80 pounds.

Gentlemen; I’ve searched the Internet to no avail.  Nowhere have I been able to find any information on this lump.  I would very much like to know what the current capabilities of the secondary of this transformer are so I can place some kind of value on it.

Is anyone here able to point me in the right direction so this kind of information can be determined?

Any help would be most appreciated.
