Description
Quality work is NEVER an accident, but the result of high intentions and a sincere effort. ZW's will operate most any train made today w/"add-ons"!
Lionel hasn't built a "decent" ZW since 1966! If you're looking for a quiet/noiseless trouble free ZW and can probably get parts for for another 50 yrs, this may be the one for you! ZW is very quiet and will be operating trains for another 50 years, interior is clean! Neither case has any cracks and is almost scratch free, cases are not perfect but nice! A NEW power cord was installed and was routed as Lionel routed the leads to the coil to keep wires away from the moving contact arms as Lionel did, whether needed or not, 4 NEW carbon rollers were installed and were aligned to a clean secondary coil maintaining a "air gap" between the moving contact arms! (Rollers can deteriorate depending on prior storage)!, Max. output is 24.3 volts indicating that all the coil laminations are clean, 30.0 volts when using whistle/horn because of the 16 amp diodes installed and again because it is so clean! Both whistle outputs are at high end of Lionel specs. after both sets of switch-shaft contacts were cleaned and adjusted and 16 amp. diodes installed that will "trigger" whistles/horns in locos easier for both post-war and electronic trains!
MINOR blemishes! Any broken or non-conducting terminal posts were replaced! Graphics at terminal posts are easily readable and I added note "CAUTION-maximum output this ZW is 25V"! Paint on bottom of baseplate is NOT original, any minor bends were removed then sandblasted and painted! All functions work perfectly as do ALL my transformers! This transformer was built to operate Lionel trains built prior to 1966. It will operate trains built today too however, some "add-ons" may be required to operate some electronic circuitry. (Note, circuit breakers are installed in transformers to protect the transformer, not your train. If operating newer electronic trains,
