[TCML] X-Ray Transformer Help

["Tim Flood" <tflood@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Need help on a possible off - topic subject. I now have a Picker-Andrex portable x -ray mchine rated at 100Kv at 10 ma. max. This unit is like non I've seen before. 

The transformer and other components are contained in a 8 1/2" dia. x 29" vertical can. There is no oil inside, rather it is pressurized with sulfur difluroride gas. The actual transformer
is at the bottom. Connected above are to brick-shaped capacitors. The first is rated at .008 uf at 75KVDCW and a second cap 100 KVDCW. There is a D - shaped transfomer at the very top, along with a few other components. The final output is through a 5000 ohm resistor. All of this is supported between two vertical rods.

I would like to use the transformer to supply power for a project, but I don't know if I can simply use the transformer alone submersed in oil. Or, should I use the assembly as designed? If I can use this I'll have questions on ballast, etc.

Thank you in advance for any help. Please feel free to email me off - list.
