unidentified transformers - help?

Postby EvLoutonian » Thu Jul 15, 2010 9:25 pm

Hey, any you folkazoids know what these might originally be intended for?

I'll take some digital multi-meter readings on the various taps and convey what I can..

The second one looks very much like an AWA. I have a similar one that is LIU I found at an old AM transmitter site

I doubt these are UTC transformers, they certainly don't look like UTC cases to me nor do they have UTC markings which usually describe the basic capabilities of the tx. I've a few of the second transformer/inductor, almost exactly the same case and they came out of a coaxial cable install from the 60's. In the circuit they are from they show as inductors not transformers but best thing to do? feed some signal to two of the terminals and measure the output and then change the connections around till you can see what they do.
