Off the beaten path, I recently answered a question about a Marx 25 Watt Transformer and this was the closest I had. I thought it was worth a photo op.

Well I messed with it and changed the cord but the coil wire broke. Bad luck, I think I have enough wire left.
 
The broken wire was a challenge. I used a small knife and dug around the wire and got this.

Then time for a fit up.

The frame was fastened with two inch screws.

You can see the rust lines after the lower half was stripped.

This guy places out 5 to 7 volts at low and 13 volts high. It does not have an off.
 
There was a larger transformer with the set. So you can expect to see something posted on it in the future.
