Re: [TCML] x-ray transformer

[DC Cox <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not really good for TC building.  Voltage is too high and current is too
low.

You need 7-15 kV AC at 60 to 500 mA for good coil performance.  Most small
coils are built with neon sign transformer, and most large coils are
built using highline pole transformers.
