not a bad tranny, but why so big?,
a mate of mine has got a 150kv 500ma,
(from an xray machine that was ripped out of the
local hospital and thrown up the dump),
and it would be 1\5th the size of that.
got the whole machine actually and says he's going
to fire it up one day, he talks about dangerous equipment
with frivolous disregard,
luckily he's one of these dreamers,
all talk and no action.
