   ** Almost certainly it's a high quality, 600 ohms line driving transformer.   
      
   The primary impedance is about 1000 ohms and so suits cathode drive from a   
   small power tube, via a coupling capacitor.   
      
   Max operating level is about 10 volts rms, with 13 volts drive on the   
   primary.   
      
   Line receiving versions were usually fitted into a ( mu-metal) shielding   
   can.
