All,

Franceformer sells a rugged looking, and compact (I own one) unpotted
tranformer with plenty of shunts which can be removed.  It is part number
6025 SEG-U.  Rated at 6000 volts,  190VA in it's stock condition.  I haven't
given it a work out yet doing anything special so cannot attest to its
actual ruggedness.
