Maybe it will be 8 and 12 with the load of the appropriate bell on it.

strange one alright. dodgey trafo maybe?

did it just say 8 or 12 volt on the spec of the trafo?

any mention of 12 and 16 or is that the reading you were getting on the meter?

I dont believe there is much strange about it myself. Most never bother measuring the voltage of them traffo`s and just assume they are bang on 8v and 12v. I just measured one here, 11v and 15v i got for the 8v and 12v terminals.
