Today I got a couple transformers from my uncle and I just wanted to
know what you guys thought about them (are they any good?).


the first one
-----
luminous tube transformer
cat no 721-121
capacity VA 360

Primary 
115 V
60 Cycles

Secondary
12,000 V
30 MA

Midpoint of secondary grounded

Jefferson Electric Company
-----

the second one (from a neon sign)
-----
franceformer (it's an 'f' not a 't')
gaseous tube transformer
cat no 9030 FA1S2
ser 1172

Primary
120 V
60 Cycles
288 VA

Secondary
9000 V
30 MA

Midpoint of secondary grounded
-----


The Primary of the first one is 115V.  Isn't line voltage 120V?  Would
it cause a problem to plug it in?  Before I go and do something stupid,
I want to know what would be bad to do because I don't think I'll get
another chance to find another transformer, let alone two.
