I have the guts of a new inverter type MO:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/srward16/Temp/SSMOT/

These cant really be used for a TC supply since they are driven at several 
khz.  I should have tested the 'MOT' with its normal driver but didnt and 
now i wish i did before i threw the driver stuff out.  I did drive the 
transformer with my half-bridge flyback driver, and at 30vdc it was making 
a nasty high current spark.  I was surprised to see how small the core is 
for it being used in a 1kw oven!  Ahhhh, the benefits of high frequencies ;)
Anywho, if you were to drive many of these from a giant H-bridge driver and 
series the outputs, you could have your self a high frequency MOT stack.
Add some rectification and a filter capacitor and your ready for some DC 
coiling... not necessarilly easy to do since you need to make a driver 
capable of switching a few kW into the transformers, though chances are it 
would weigh much less than the iron core version of a mot stack but the 
complexity might make it a real pain to build.

just wondering if anyone has done any T-Coiling with any of these new style
power supplies...

the one I took apart was fried beyond repair so I didnt get a chance to
play with it..
