I have just been given there 2 transformers by my father.  I don't have any ideas for its use.  Data sheet suggests tube use..... What could there be used for,  any diy ideas? ☺ thanks

Hammond 169e

Here is a link for the Data sheet

isolation transformer,

good for the bench, isolating a O Scope from the line so yyou don't have fireworks when connecting the ground lead to a chassis,

not really enough step up voltage to run tubes, 150-160 max, unless you use a voltage doubler,

you can also use it to make an old guitar amp safe, like the ones with the chassis connected to the power line,

or you could sell them and buy a different transformer for solid state or tube stuff,
