Description

Lionel prewar transformer 1029, hums when plugged in, handle scrapes. Needs cleaning but works, has a very old cord and plug. NOTE! This transformer should be checked out by an electrician before use. Cleaned up it would make a great part of an early 20th-century vintage toys display. Transformers are bulky and don't travel well with other items, so no combined shipping on transformers.
