Hi all,
  There's one thing about MOT's that I don't understand.. There seems to be
2 secondary windings.. The first is quite obvious.. the two heavy wires
that connect to the magnetron.. but then there's a second winding, one end
of which goes to the core and the other to a spade lug.. What's this one
for? Does it have something to do with the voltage doubler part of the
setup? Is there anything that can/should be done with this? (As in, does it
pose any kind of potential hazard and could it be modified to give more
output voltage?) Thanks for any info..
