hello! does anyone on here know anything about (or seen?) Teleco brand transformers?
I bought a junk project off ebay for $20, cause it had a VU meter in it and some unknown transformers. and I'm a sucker for cheap mystery things.

Now its here, I see they have a manufacturer, and type numbers - they're both round metal cans with 9 pins each. Type OP11 (connected from an XLR input, then running via shielded cable to 2 puts labeled "Gain and Cal") and there is a bigger part - type R11B (connected to an xlr output, with a power resistor, a pot, and some an RC in parallel soldered about its various connectors... with a keyed DIN2 plug running to it, and 2 pins running to the VU) there's also a 108 deg din5 cable that runs to 2 switches and 2 pots - labeled "H.S.", "VAR", "Fine" and "Coarse")
There was no other circuitry included. And there's no other evidence of mounting holes for other boards - or even mounting holes for any other part of the metalwork.. looks quite DIY, but with nice letter-transfer writing?
so.... does anyone know what kind of transformers I've gotten??
They look quite old, with their red metal labels, and typography & layout - and is says on them they are from wellington, NZ. Searching for teleco and new zealand gave me one link to another new zealand company that acquired stuff from another company back in the 80s.... "October 1988 - Transformer and Coil Winding Services acquired the instrument transformer designs, and some manufacturing and testing equipment from New Zealand Transformers (Teleco)."
And that's everything I can find. well, at least it wasn't an expensive punt.....
