Hi Kris,

You can find out all you need to know about each transformer with some 
open and short circuit testing. Let me refer you Jim Lux's website for 
what I think is a decent guide to understanding these tests.

A word of caution: With these type of measurements, you should well 
understand what you are doing. AC is usually all over the place and 
damage to components, meters, and personal harm can occur if you make a 
mistake or misunderstand how to perform the test. You need at least a 
couple of meters and a means of adjusting the input voltage to the 
transformer.

Take care,
Bart

I'm thinking the voltage should be around 8400 volts, going by what the microwave caps were rated for.  I'm guessing the amperage should be .5 amps, but I don't know how to actually test to confirm the actual. Does anyone have any advice?
