This is the later model that has 7 terminal posts! Case has NO cracks or breaks and case shows little use, I would grade the nameplate about 9.5, 10 being new, disregard flash-burn on nameplate! Paint on baseplate is NOT original! Max. output shows 18.1 volts and when using whistle function 24.4 volts, a diode was installed to replace the antiquated whistle disc. Orange directional handle is not original but the copper insert was added to eliminate wear caused by shaft lugs! The power cord was replaced as I ALWAYS do and both circuit breakers were checked for proper opening time! The new "repro"box shown has a built in insert to protect handle "overhang"! The instruction sheet is copy of original! This transformer was built to operate Lionel trains built prior to 1966. It will operate todays trains too however, some read more
