It wouldn't seem likely that the neon xfmr would noticably affect Fpri,
as the L of the neon xfmr is much, much higher than that of the pri coil.
Remember that L's in parallel add just like R's in parallel.
Besides, those fine strands in the neon sec probably could not support
the reactive currents of the pri ckt.
