[Amps] Microwave Transformers?

[KB0NLY]

Ok, after reading some of the excellent links that the reflector members 
sent me I see that now.  Makes total sense after finding the right info!

Hmm, I could scrounge two of them, but I don't know if its worth all the 
trouble when I can buy a new toroidal transformer off eBay for about $60 
with a 1a 800v secondary.  That puts me at a lower plate voltage then I was 
shooting for but it would still give me a respectable max output.  I'm only 
shooting for about 3-400w on 2m SSB which should be easy at that voltage 
with the GI-7B.

73,

Scott
