This is a power supply for a toy train set - a Canadian set released in 1965 by the Eaton company. Tri-ang is, apparently, a known Canadian toy train company as well, which helps. Toy train enthusiasts spend money, and vintage things always sell. This unit provides both AC and DC power to the tracks and accessories and has a speed control. I wasn't able to test this, as I don't have a train set, but Robin's dad was able to confirm for me that it provided AC and DC power as appropriate. That being said, I listed this for lower than I otherwise would have and listed it as "AS IS / For Parts" which is what eBay requires for people not to be able to return something if it doesn't work. I made it clear in the listing that I can't guarantee that this works. That being said, there is a lot of reasons people may want this even if not working - it is vintage, they may be able to fix it if it doesn't work, or they may be able to re-wire the inside and keep the case. That being said, I am a bit weary of a possible return request, but I am confident I did what was require to protect myself. As my last sale of 2015, I am hopeful that the buyer is happy and this won't bring a headache in 2016.
