That's about what I figured,  but I haven't yet traced out the wiring in
that thing,  it may be that there are taps I can use.  Or if it's a 4-diode
bridge rectifier I can maybe go to a 2-diode setup if there's a center-tap,
 which would give me 12 volts out instead of 24.

I can think of a few things I can use 24v for,  but they don't amount to
much and sure as heck don't need 10 amps!
