I'll resurrect this old topic with a new entry. I'm restoring a super O set from 1959 for a church member. This is the transformer he said was with the set. I think it was a separate purchase.😄
Said I would find a newer Lionel transformer to use with the set.

I know that in the pre WWII era, the Jefferson Electric Co used to supply transformers to Chicago American Flyer and did some separate sales.....but I do not know if they did separate sales after the war. I have no knowledge if they worked with American Flyer in the Gilbert era.

I would love to learn more and I suspect the Flyer guys on this Forum will have some information.

By the way, Joe, I'm always curious about Super O, which set?
