What about security risks due to e.g. overcurrent use by the 1st owner?
Say, an idling transformer might measure fine but then fail when running with in spec high current, because of some inside isolation fault.
Just your opinion, no liable advice. I'll decide on my own, when and how to die. :-DD

If you buy one and it looks OK and checks out, it probably is OK. If you are that worried about it, just buy a new high quality one with the proper certifications.
Some people I've come across absolutely refuse to use those mains test screwdrivers with a neon. They say all that's between you and a potentially fatal shock is a resistor that's probably a floor sweeping.
I can't say I've ever heard of anyone being killed or injured by either of these things. Compressors for car suspension springs are a different story.

Just had a segment on the nightly news about the current heatwave through Europe and Britain.
Hitting the 40's is bad enough when you're used to it - but it's going to be dire for those who aren't.
The hobbits had the right idea ... underground.

44 degrees yesterday...
Fortunately the customs and manners of southern Spain have adapted to such conditions :-+

“I really love this weather” … add them to the list.
“Want to go for a run today?” … add them to the list.
“Oh I prefer Morocco heat” … add them to the list.
“G’day” … add them to the list.
