Already ohmed it out.

It turns out that all 5 of the threaded terminals are the secondary.  Therefore, I'll probably put like 25.2 volts on the secondary and go from there.  It will be a whole lot easier to determine just which of the primary windings are for which voltage.

If you don't find any info on the transformer hook a 12 volt filament transformer up to the primary and measure the secondary. The 3000 volt winding should read around 300 volts or so.
 
You could ohm it out first but be sure to short out the primary with a clip lead first so you don't zap your meter.
