Repaired my PSSTC and back to running again.  I also added a bunch of
polyethylene insulation between primary and secondary but that didn't do
much at all!!  (As Steve Ward noted earlier)

Anyways, using a FLUKE 41 Harmonic Power Analyzer, I got the following
readings.

I didn't try to push it at all this evening.  Probably around 150-160VAC

MEASUREMENTS
Real Power delivered to PSSTC:   1.0kW  (used variac to get this number
even)
Power Factor:  0.78
Distance:  Consistently hit strike target which was randomly placed between
40" and 55"
Pulsewidth:  250us
PRF:  100Hz


I was using a 120VAC to 240VAC step-up transformer to get my higher voltage
input.  I imagine this big transformer has something to do with the poor
power factor.
