Well, that's what I've been thinking.  I can parallel the two 30mA units I
have for 60mA if needed.  However, based on the recent responses, plus some
research I've been doing on my own, neon xformers are about the worst
drivers for multipliers unless huge multiplier caps are used.  So, now I'm
revisiting driving with a tv flyback if I can find a way to increase the
current.
