Ed - I already have a 6V 90A transformer which I currently have made into a 
spot welder that does up to 800A.  Picked it up for AUD$20 in a junkyard. 
Could easily rewind one or two MOT's if I had to get the required current 
though.  Spotwelder flash is here. Lots of detail when enlarged.

Transmitting tube is here (actually I wrote 60KW and 89A when I put the pic 
in. I'll have to check)
