I don't have a number instantly. Not KWS-1 or S-line. How big? how many
leads? color coded leads? Terminals? If color coded wire leads the
primary are black, high voltage secondary red with red/yellow the center
tap, 6.3 are green 5 volt rectifier brown or yellow. I like to test
voltages with 12 volts AC applied to the primary, saves on shocks and
keeps the voltages more reasonable to be handling the bared wire ends.

The current or power rating depends on how hot you are willing to let
the transformer get.
