Sorry,

I previously stated that my transformer, as measured by a 1k resistor, was 
33.5ma.  The resisitor was off but about 150ohms.  But i got a very close 
(should be 1k, but really measures 980ohms) resisitor, and got 35.8ma.  Ok, 
so still not surprisingly high or anything...  Oh and at 140v in, it 
measured 48ma.  This little transformer makes a pretty thick arc!  So 
excuse my previously stated 33.5ma, the true rating is 35.8ma.  My max (to 
the 1/8" inch incrament) is still 13" at calculated 143.2 VA (4kv x 35.8ma).
