Definitely a transformer, which I've tested via bulb to the output and
declared it faulty. I'm assuming the tight wire nuts to the input mean a
solid connection. For $12 its worth not un-knotting the birds nest in
the electric box.
I guess I'll just cut the wires and not bother properly disassembling
them, which bugs me, but so does screwing around with cheap crap not
designed to be maintained.
