"Careful - the cases on HV transformers aren't always isolated."
That is very true esp. for neon transformers. I have seen then rated @ 9000 V
center tap grounded. I am very supprised that more people are not killed by
them. Very dangerous.
Thank you,
Randy.

I don't see why not.
I used a 10KV oil furnace ignition transformer and it worked fine.
Rectifier block, HV resistors and caps came from fleaBay.
Careful - the cases on HV transformers aren't always isolated.
