Tranformer gurus,
                 I might actually make some progress on my mechanical xfrmr
winding jig over Thanksgiving holiday, so I have a question about xfrmr design.

If I follow the design guide at for example 
	http://members.tripod-dot-com/~schematics/xform/xformer1.htm
I get a certain number of turns in the primary to match the core cross section
of the laminated core that I have obtained.

What if I use fewer turns in the primary to up the turns ratio (I've only got
so much room for secondary turns in a fixed winding window size).

What happens with fewer primary turns than "recomended" for a given core.

thanks,
Pete Lawrence.
