Frost FBAK-10 preheat ballast
Saved from a 1980s cooking range. It is dated 5/87, unlike my other FBAK-10 specimens which are not dated. Ohmmeter reads 23 ohms, which is a little low but I guess it's fine. Some of my preheat chokes read over 30 ohms.

Another odd thing is the 115V rating, which is unusual for most preheat ballasts I've saved, especially Frost ones!

what are most of them rated for? 120V or 118V? or even 110V?
