Vintage antique GE circa 1930’s streamline art deco style neon sign transformer. Hard working transformer is fully operational as 15,000 Volts at 30 mA, 450 VA! All original General Electric luminous tube transformer with original spec plate and UL mark, ceramic stand-off insulators and brass nuts! Dimensions are 14.5 ” long by 5.25 ” deep by 6.2 tall and weight is 37 pounds and 7 ounces. Excerpt from Novial Journeys. Many of the internal construction features of a transformer are common across the board laminated iron core, fishtape, wire windings, and potting compound, etc, are all very straight forward and not wide in variations from one make to the nextHowever, the outer casing and insulators were sometimes treated as if it were the body of a fine automobile. A look at some of General Electrics transformers of the 1930s and 40s is all one would need to support this contention. Beautiful streamlined General Electric neon transformer. The golden age of industrial design was not limited to the outward appearance of a finished product. The beautiful streamlined art-deco style was even applied to some internal components. This level of attention paid to otherwise basic parts that would never be seen except by the builder or service technician is, to me at least, a mark of high quality and was no doubt one of the first things to be cast aside in the modern era where cost is the primary driver of nearly all decisions. How painful it is to those who believe in their artistry, even on mundane items, to have specifications dictated by the accounting department.
