The last shot shows the connections... the bottom left is the two AC
connections. Above them are three connections labeled L1, L2, & L3. They appear
to be taps of some sort. The incoming black AC wire is on the right AC terminal,
and has a wire running up to L3. To the right are two rows of four connections
labeled 1 thru 8. Connection 4 and 8 are tied together, and what looks to be the
remains of the output wiring is coming off 6 and 7.

I originally thought that it was a high voltage transformer, but now I'm leaning
towards ballast...

Anybody know how to use it?
