If anybody is interested, I have a bunch of 15 amp 120/240 
input 120 V output isolation transformers from salvage. 15 
AMPS!!!  But they are heavy as hell, so it probably is not 
a good idea to ship them. I would be willing to trade for 
other interesting DIY stuff.

These are extremely handy for troubleshooting, but be 
careful as they usually do not offer isolation!
