RE: Transformer build up
MOT's, at least where I live are fairly easy to come by, esp at microwave
repair yards and junkyards.
The transformers are usually the sturdiest components-- hence the broken
microwaves usually have intact transformers.
I would think that a MOT power supply for a TC, given proper ballasting,
etc. would provide a low-cost (free!) alternative to pole-pigs...
although the jury is still out on their long-term effectiveness and
resistance to breakdown. The center tap idea is a provocative one, I'll
have to pursue that when I get back to Oregon... Thanks!
