Mark,

It's not a neon sign transformer but rather a neon bombarder transformer
used for burning out neon tubes during manufacturing.  These are typically
not current limited, and usually have an external limiter.  There is
mention in the auction that the "controller" is not included.  Pole pigs
are also often used as bombarder transformers.

Zap!
