I was all ready to go with about 5KV but rebuilder said that was a little
low. The 2 transformers I have, 1 4kv rms 1 6kv rms, are bare neon
transformers. Each coil is on its own thick plastic form and has been dipped
in a clear very solid ?? Then the metal core is put in and around. They were
made to put out 20 milliamps for neon bulb array. There is much room
from out side of coil to metal core, enough room to take 30KV anode lead
and wrap it around primary to make a filament winding for the U33.
To rebuild the CRT, new screen phosphor and gun, cost about $350.00 US.
