Ralph,

the problem seems to be your last sentence  :-)

> Since the primary capacitor is connected across the secondary 
of the HV transformer,  doesn't it always have a discharge path thru 
the transformer secondary?
- If both windings of your tranny and the wiring were ok, than there 
*is* a discharge path for the main cap. But in case of e.g. a broken 
lead you might face/feel a problem. 

Safe coiling to you.
