Unfortunately that thing weighs almost 600lbs (bushing's probably half
that). If I had that cash I'd probably roll several of my own smalller ones
(~75-100lb indentical ones with a 3rd winding) and cascade them together to
make them easier to move (without a forklift). Not quite as beefy, but a
depotted x-ray transformer would put out a similar voltage with the
diodes/filament/ other extra innards removed). Someone also mentioned that
it was actually a capacive divider and couldn't be ran backwards, which
would make it useless for nothing other than measuring the output of x-ray
transformers/transmission lines.
