   Could be! Maybe Western Electric?   
      
   Not mentioned in yesterday's post; there is a print   
   in white characters on top of the transformer.   
      
   Print: WE1612??   
           6  420   
      
   The last two characters of the first line are too vague to read.   
      
   Do you know they used indification no's with "WExxxx"?
