That multiplex stereo generator is probably desirable.

This stuff is WAY over my head. But judging from the excitement here it's a haul. Congrats! Looking at those items that seem to have been exposed to the elements in a not to controlled environment I'd probably have passed. Especially looking at the the JBL C39 Harlan's condition.
Good luck on restoring all those! You have quite a bit of work ahead of you.
Now the B&W for $200? I'll take this ALL day 24/7!.

Yes indeed, I am aware that within the scopes and test gear can lurk some quality tubes, however, they were suggesting they felt there was some good value in the test gear, so I did not make any real effort for it yet. I expect to get another chance to look around more, so when I do, I'll try to see if they are more interested in moving it out.

Somehow I feel like I should have been part of this endeavor.....
Outstanding.
Certainly would have been more enjoyable with you there. Was really fun hunting through stuff not knowing what I might find in the next box, etc. Hope to go back at some point, there are still some areas to dig through.
Thanks for some guidance. I'll see what I can find on Thordarson transformers. He had a McIntosh book with many different schematics for tube amps, so hoping they are part of some tube project he may have had in mind, McIntosh or not.

How many leads does that transformer have? I see two I think - could be a choke?
Play Things of Past (oldradioparts.com) has a crap ton of vintage transformers. They are sorted into types and you can't search the whole pile at once, but if you don't mind searching each page for that number, you might find one and learn what it is.
Couple of other links you might find helpful:

Based on what I've seen in a few minutes of searching, I agree the T suggests Thordarson.

I looked through a lot of the Thordarson catalogs on BunkerofDoom, but also could not find anything. I don't think any numbers started with 59, so definitely not a common part number if it is a Thordarson transformer.
Here are a couple more pics.

When I went to pickup the Harlans, there was also this computer server rack cabinet. It was free and very well built, so plan to put it to good use. It was in the same shed, but on its side and was apparently not getting wet because it is in pretty good shape.

Ooh a rack is nice to have around. I found one (a bit shorter) and put my garage/shop building system into it. Much better protected than a conventional inside-the-house rack.

Is there ANY orange audio gear? Probably not, but black gear would look nice with it.
