What you have is the power supply for a 4 head professional studio flash system. Quite old and now superseded by stand alone units. I believe Courtenay units were latterly sold by Patterson who are well known for photographic accessories. It would not be much use without compatible flash heads which as well as the flash units usually contained a 150 watt photo bulb for focus.
As regards the transformer I would be tempted to take out the surrounding circuits and take some voltage readings and work from there, you never know it might have some useable windings, it highly unlikely that it would be of any value or safe for photo flash.
