    Does anyone know anything about this transformer and possibly have a schematic for it?

    For some reason the image will not upload so I will give you the numbers.

      1052 is the EIA code for Transformer Manufacturer, Co., Norridge, IL. I think it is pretty common to have the date code follow that so I would assume this was made in 1966, week 30.

        once you can identify the primaries it'll be easy to figure out what the secondaries would be voltage wise.

          Not sure I would agree with the example numbers given in that link.

            300 to 700 ohm primary might apply to 20V pinky nail sized transformers.

            In sizes as shown by OP which is a large one, IŽd expect , say 5 ohm class values; for Tube amps HV secondaries , say 50 to 100 ohm and filaments less than 1 ohm; for transistor amp supplies, secondaries: in the 2 ohm class or lower.

            Old service schematics used to include transformer expected DCR, an excellent idea which was sadly dropped later

            HereŽs a Silvertone.
            http://www.prowessamplifiers.com/sch...ertone1472.pdf

            Notice it states:

            * PT - 117V Primary: 10 ohm
            HV secondaries: 125 ohm each

            * OT (6V6) primaries: 175 ohm each.

              We don't even know if it's a PT or an OT.
              If it's a PT for a tube amp it might be for a small, maybe 20W amp.
              If it's an OT it could be for a 40W to 50W amp.

              As JMF said, the DCR of a HV secondary is always larger than the primary DCR.
              I just measured a PT for a JTM45, primary DCR is 10R@230V taps (would be about 2.5R when wired for 120V), full HV secondary (2x325V) measures 134R. But that's a much larger transformer, so its DCRs will be lower.

              How many windings does it have? Any CTs?

                ^^^^ Yes, that. It might help to upload a picture that includes/shows the wires exiting the transformer.

                  This may be the same company that made it, you could contact them and ask. https://tmitransformers.com/
