Cory,

The likely breakdown place is between the outer secondary windings and the
core.  Oil will help there.  Oil also helps dissapate heat if the
transformer is supplying a lot of power.  The turn to turn insulation will
not be a problem.  It is much higher in TC secondaries and the turn to turn
insulation holds up fine.

Disclaimer:  I never claimed I thought this scheme was a good idea, just an
idea to tinker with.  It might be the way to go for a few, but it is not for
the rest, including me.  What I am waiting for is for MOs with switching
power supplies to become more common.  This will be fertile ground for a
whole new class of TC power supplies and perhaps direct drivers magnifier
TCs.  Geek Group - how about getting a source of MO switching power supplies
directly from a manufacturer and making them available to us cheap!
