Lets see 34,000 volts at 2 amps "continious" -> 68 KW input 
power? 15,000 KW output power? 53 KW anode dissipation? 
Huh? I mean if you are going to lie to people, you should at least 
make your lies somewhat credible.  

Looks like a couple of the bidders (1 and 6) may be ringers. 
Seller has only 1 transaction (as a buyer) in his/her history which 
was a for $17 worth of Camaro cowl lacing tape. 

I wouldn't touch this one with a ten foot pole even if I thought
the price was worth it for the piece parts (transformer, vacuum
caps, sockets, tubes, etc).
