I'm going to guess it's some kind of AC power controller, that uses a saturable reactor controlled by vacuum tubes. Or maybe it's a prototype cable TV box from the 1950s wink

yes it's a vaccum tube power controller, 190-240vac in 220vac out, from the 50's smile

edit> I removed the big tranny from it, connected the 2 outer coils in series to mains voltade and it makes around 1-2kv on the big coil shades

I guess you already know - the rectifiers look like selenium
which can be toxic (has been used as a poison) Link2

Yay, fret tapping bass solo. ^___^

jmartis, what tubes does that thing have in it? Want to sell them or trade for some IGBTs? I'm always looking for tubes for audio experiments.

PS. Sulaiman isn't kidding. If those selenium rectifiers ever blow up, they will stink out your whole house with vile smelling toxic fumes.

These are some large nickel sulfate crystals that I accidently grew over the course of about a week by leaving a concentrated solution of nickel sulfate sitting around while it evaporated. The largest one is about 8mm across.
