Franceformer 9060-P5G2

9kV/60mA

I can snap some pics if needed of the outside. I have no clue how to get the
top off, seems glued down really well in the center. I pulled the screw out
and tried to take it off but dont want to bend it up. Any pointers?

Also, do I need to ground the case to the RF ground? I was only using the
house ground, didnt want to feed 9000 volts back into the house ground.

Thanks guys!
