Jeff:
	"My tube coil uses two 250th tubes rated at 250 watts
each. In past posts, I've referred to this coil as a 500 watt
coil, however, the meters tell me that 3800Vdc at 700ma
are flowing through the tubes (their maximum rating).

It pulls 11A from a 120Vac outlet."
	Apparently you have discovered an "over-unity" device.
700 mils at 3800 volts is 2660 watts, while 11 amps at 120 volts
is 1320 watts.  You seem to be getting twice as much DC power
out of the supply as you are putting AC power into the primary!
Something wrong somewhere.
