Hi all,

I thought I would share this unusual and historic transformer from "1917"
that I came across on eBay recently.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/363014955765

I will admit, I am not so big on the hefty price, but it is interesting in
it's design. Also looks in great condition.

I find the lever control interesting for some kind of movable shunt.



I would think that a movable shunt allows you to set the spark gap current (just like in a Tesla Coil) - The only meter on a transmitter in "king spark" days was probably something like an RF ammeter.
