Do I have any use for that for repair work or anything? Since there
is already 120 in the house, I don't think so, but in the picture it
looks like new. ;-)

What are they used for?




I think the description is faulty an autoformer with 240Vac winding and
120Vac winding doesn't make any sense. It would go from zero to 250 or
so or zero to 140 or so. are you sure it only has one winding?
