Thanks Thad, and Steve for your kind replies. I followed your suggestions,
as to grounding the center MOT's. And yes phasing this configuration was
confusing (I thought I knew what I was doing, NOT!) Anyway, it now works at
a low input 10V in yields 600V out. I removed the wires on the outer 2 MOT
cores. I was wondering, the wires are still very close to the cores, is this
a problem? Steve could you elaborate/clarify further on the resistor scheme
you mention. I would have kept your reply in the body of this message, but I
didn't receive it in my email, had to read it on the list.

Mike
