[Moon-net] HV Transformer Problem

[Pat Barthelow]

Hello Johann,

Perhaps this is an example where you might be able to find a discarded 
Microwave Oven and salvage a compatible HV transformer from that, if you can 
find one with voltages in the right range.  Here in the US, it is easy to 
find at Thrift stores, older Micrwave ovens for very cheap.
