HV transformer questions



Original poster: "Jolyon Cox" <jolyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

An 8kV High Voltage Transformer is available on Ebay
Item is listed as <http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4665&item=7516316446&rd=1>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4665&item=7516316446&rd=1


Would this item be suitable for powering a Tesla coil? Apparently it was made by Woden for Rank Xerox -for what purpose? The third line on the box reads "INPUT 98-122 VOLTS 50~ 0.5VA" but the fifth line reads "S.C 5MA MAX" and 8kV at 5mA is 40VA so this does not make sense to me -any explanations?
And why is it so heavy?
