Anyone know what a UTC FN-800 might be? It is a two-fist-sized sealed
"transformer" with 8 terminals. I'm guessing "FN" might stand for
filter-network, but so far I'm not finding any reference to it in the
online UTC catalogs.
It also shows an RCA number 8500703-1

Or possibly an interstage or driver transformer with split primary and
secondary windings.
Try taking an ohmmeter to figure out which terminals go to windings, by
checking out continuity. Then put a few volts a.c. from a filament
transformer onto one of the windings, and measure voltage output from the
other windings to determine turns ratio. Also, the dc resistance might give
a clue. 110/200v primary should show up as 10-15 ohms, a couple of ohms or
less could be a filament winding or low impedance speaker winding of an
output transformer, 100-500 ohms could be the hv winding of a power
transformer or an audio winding at a few thousand ohms, and 500 ohms or
more would indicate a higher voltage power transformer output or higher
impedance audio winding.
If you thing it is a filter network, try sweeping with a signal generator
across the audio spectrum to see what the frequency response is.
