RE: [TCML] single ear transformer
The only sticker on this trans says 30,000kv and it looks like it's been repainted I cant find any manufacturers tag but will look under the base to see if I can find anyhing.
I would like more clarification on building a MMC setup for this trany and if anyone has plans to build a coil to handle such a beast please let me know or send them to me off list.
what type of filter if any should I use?I aleady built a terry filter for my 15kv NST setup but how do one wire it to the single hv setup?
Can I post pictures on the list so members can see my Transformer?
