I may try that. I have a good digital LCR meter, it's just that I craved a
toy like this many years ago and $3 was too good a deal to turn down.

Puzzling over the instructions I finally tried zeroing the dissipation
control with the DC button and measuring the inductance with the AC button.
That actually seems to work, although the inductance is about 20% off from
my digital meter. However this is an iron cored transformer and perhaps it
is a frequency issue.
