   Not mine. It is built from a very high power amp, around 1,000 watts per   
   channel. The secondary at 120 puts out 127, when I load the shit out of it and   
   it drops to 120 the line voltage drops to like 116.   
      
   I had to scrap it, the amp boards got soaked with the elements and got   
   conductive, and the protection didn't even work and it had offset and was   
   blowing speakers.   
      
   It came out of a bar in the ceiling and I think the roof leaked on it but they   
   didn't own the brick and mortar so they didn't give a shit.   
      
   Anyway, the load that made it drop you 120, a 1,500 watt electric heater. I   
   don't even want to think what one with that capacity would cost. I go it for   
   free. I didn't charge any fee just kept it, which they were cool with.
