I had this in my trash, but thought it might be worth keeping for some future use. Not sure what that might be. I inherited the pack rat behavior from my father. https://imgur.com/a/TKLTuuz |

That's not an audio transformer, that's a power transformer which likely came from an audio amplifier. Audio transformers are used for impedance matching the audio signal itself. |

Strange, as it has not had been powered up or anything else since I removed it from the radio which came out of a dumpster ? |

Looks like an old school decent made Yamaha :-+ If working ok, might be worth something on Ebay, or some useful voltages for DIY projects :-// Either way, it's not bin worthy unless it's fried, in which case the metal scrap yard will take it |

I forgot how heavy it was, 9 lbs, and pulled a muscle pulling it out of my trash. |
