Hi,

I suppose the contacts just can't take that. The cord looks bad, but the guy writes about it. I can't believe he left that picture in there. Here's what he says:

"Vintage RCA Isolator variable transformer model WP-25A
please note that pictures were taken before item was checked serviced and the wire plug was replaced with new electrical wire and plug and is in perfect working condition please email me with any questions thank you "

I've got an old Auto transformer.. Don't use it. It's the "spool" configuration and weighs a ton! The secondary is resonate at 60 hertz. (flywheel effect) I've spent some time looking for the specs on it. It's a Westinghouse IM47. I gave up trying to find it. I've got it mounted in a Motorola radio cabinet and was going to use it someday for a repeater site line conditioner. I should check it out to see if the caps in the secondary are still ok.

That iso on Ebay would still make someone a nice transformer. One can bypass the switch and hard wire it to what ever your house electrical voltage is.

Take care,
Buzz
