[TCML] Different sort of MOT



Like many other I expect, I harvest parts from cast-off microwave ovens. I don't usually bother with MOTs as power sources, but I found an unusual one I am curious about.

Yesterday I got a working Panasonic oven, and the transformer is a light item with a plastic frame, a few turns of braided primary and a few more turns of secondary around a simple ferrite D shaped core. (It looks more like an old flyback than the standard MOT). Its mounted on a circuit board with an imposing array of resistors, diodes, and film capacitors.

Is this of any use in our hobby, other than to tear down for parts?
