    Description

    From a large collection we just purchased.  This transformer was produced from 1948 through 1956 and is well known for its reliability and longevity.  Includes a CTC lockon for easy connection to O or 027 track and  the original instruction sheet.  Original box has all its flaps.  Grades C-7 Excellent or better by Train Collectors Association grading standards.  My TCA number is 86-23651
    All of our transformers have been cleaned inside and out.  Electrical contacts have been cleaned and all outputs tested for proper operation.  Most importantly, we perform an AC safety leakage test using a Sencore AC-57 "Powerite" to make certain that there is no leakage of current from the primary to the secondary which constitutes a life threatening shock hazard.  Most other eBay sellers do not have the proper equipment to perform this important test.
    IMPORTANT:  Postwar Lionel transformers were designed to operate the whistles and diesel horns in Postwar Lionel locomotives.  They MAY not trigger the electronic whistles and bells in modern O gauge locomotives.  This is due to the fact that some modern locos require more DC voltage to trigger than these older transformers were designed to produce.  This NOT a defect in the transformer.  Modern loco sound can be controlled with these older transformers by using a modern Sound Activation button available from Lionel parts dealers.
    Please check the photos carefully;  What you see is exactly what you'll get!
