humm... ok... I assume then that you would use this if the heater out from
the fly is already at max?

The white ball is a transformer with a 1:1.25 turn ratio. It steps the
6.3VAC heater voltage up to around 8V, which occasionally helps for a
little while. The second "benefit" was already mentioned- isolating
the heater, which may help with a heater to cathode picture tube short.

In short, don't use it.

ball with wires stickout out of it.

Thanks,
