Jeff,

I've used 4 microwave trannies in series (middle two cores grounded),
but there was some corona effects between outer cores and windings.
It held...but long term may be a problem.  But dump these outer (or
all) cores in oil, and you may be off and running. 

I obtained 68" sparks using 6kVA...not the most efficient system,
but nice performance anyway.
