I've been sniffing around eBay for a while, hoping to buy big ol' broken power amp to repurpose its case.
Recently I saw a commercial (PA, or similar) Phillips. Not too many details, so I GIS'd the model name.
One of the things I found was a slightly different model, with TWO big toroidals, mounted in a very assymmetrical fashion, which struck me as odd for a stereo amp. Looking at the back panel, with output sockets stated for various voltages, I looked again the right hand (as seen from the front) traffo.
As far as I can reckon, it's an impedance matching output transformer, albeit that the output is specified in volts, not ohms.
(It also has a 135-alike-fan-assisted-heatsink-tunnel)

Thought it was interesting.
