Have on hand an HV transformer I acquired many moon ago, looks perfect for
doubler service.
"GE Transformer for H-6 1000W Capillary Lamp"...whatever the heck a
capillary lamp is!
110VAC in, "1200V 1.4A operating" on the nameplate.

Anyone have any insight as to what capillary lamp service is?  Any reason
this wouldn't be suitable for a voltage doubler?  The secondary resistance
is 13.1 ohms; looks promising to me.
