neither am i interested in his quiz, we are not his pupils, he is not our teacher......
ARRL has a wealth of experience that we can bank on, they are into doing things, rather that telling people what to do or think...
I do not keep unknown transformers with multiple secondaries.
As mentioned above, you have to make guesses as to the power distribution between secondary windings.
IMHO the only reason to keep a multiple winding "unknown" transformer is if you are going to take the secondaries out of it and wind your own. (or use it for very light loads).

If I have any good saved transformer, I first search on the net for its ratings if it has a part no. or I simply use it for much lower currents I can guess from its size. For multiple secondaries, guessing will be very difficult as the winding u want to use might be very thin.
If you want to remove a transformer from some discarded equipment, never discard the remaining parts as u can guesss the VA rating from this load much better than any guesses.
