Subject: X-ray transformer

Hi everyone...I have found something and don't know if I can use it or
not....Every heard of R&L Transfer??? They are based in Wilmington, Ohio.
They have a salvage store where they try to sell things that get damaged
during shipping to reclaim some of their cash. I went in last week and was
looking around and came across a portable x-ray machine. I asked the guy
how much. He told me $25 so, I bought it. I brought it home and
dis-assembled it. I am attaching a picture of the transformer. Take a look
and please comment. I also have the power supply. I'm not sure what the
transformer is suppose to feed on. Hopefully it will handle 120 volts. It
looks like a dual flyback transformer. It was in the container it is
sitting on filled with transformer oil. It was manufactured in 1996 so...I
didn't think pcb's would be a problem..If someone has experience with such
an animal..Please help me out...Below is a link to (2)
pictures...Thanks..Chip Ford
