Generic 100V Line transformer used for distribution of audio in large buildings/Factories etc.
(Important component of large installation of PA and Emergency warning infrastructure allowing low losses over long fig 8 cable.)
Rated at 10 Watts max, with opportunity to change taps to drive 8R (nominal) speaker at 10W or 5W or 2.5W etc.
Some folk use them as a poor mans Push-Pull output transformer but you'd be better guided by someone who has experience.
Usually limited LF frequency response as its tailored to voice freq with a "little top" for emergency signals.
