I can't find it in my old catalog. Also it is called a "Multi Volt" for various outputs. I also discovered it can run either 120 or 220 volts by moving a tap on the primary side. It is about 12" long, 7.5" wide and 9" tall. Probably weighs about 90 to 100 lbs. Feels like more with my aching back. Preston Gaddis who originally owned the Bartlesville Kilowatt ran a pair of 304TL's, among a few other varieties. According to log entries, etc., his output was in the KW range, so I suspect he ran around 2800 - 3000vdc on the plates using this transformer. I thought I had the specs on this thing, but can't seem to remember where I saw them. Maybe someone on the list has them. As mentioned by someone else, it would be easy enough to determine the output with some test voltage, however the "Multi Volt" taps might be difficult to decipher! Brian/w5ami
