Hi Jim

Maybe the transformers from C&H are different than those from H&R. The
picture of the transformer at C&H looks the same as the ones I have from
H&R, and they each weigh 30 lb. The caps I have are rated 10MF 550AC 60HZ.
The number on mine is G.E. 9T68Y5021G10 while the number on yours is GE Type
5021G10. I don't understand these numbers anyway. I did a short experiment.

With no cap.
10V in, 250V out.
Suggesting 120V in, 3000V out.

With cap attached.
10V in, 365 out
Suggesting 120V in, 4380V out.

I guess I'm mystified. My meters are not of the highest quality.
