Hi Jim. I don't really understand what you're saying here. I had in
mind to just wire the secondaries together and ground the midpoint of
the two closest ones. This would put 10kv on the outer two? I don't
see where the 600v winding fits in the scheme. Had in mind to just cut
them out and do away with them.

I can imagine.
