  I suggest you purchase a commercial buck boost transformer designed for this application. 
  They are commonly available on ebay. It took about a month to purchase one at a fair price $20.  A variac will also do the boost  perhaps a 20 amp unit.  Then It will be adjustable.  For 220vac a dual gang unit is required.  These cost more.  Use of a filament or train transformer is in the older smaller handbooks in power supplies.

  I'd like to increase the output voltage about 10% on a HV plate transformer using the boost method.

Does anyone know what penalties I may encounter using this proceedure?

Since there's no free lunch, I'm thinking that the voltage regulation will be similar to what it would be when using a variac. Is that true?

The plate transformer I will be using is 1 amp, CCS. If the boost transformer is stout, as well, I don't think the regulation will be to bad.

Ideas?
