You have to make a decision based on how this transformer tests-out.
Option 1: Step-up transformer to rectifier+capacitor. This is by far the
simplest solution if the turns-ratio is in the right ballpark, and it
doesn't overheat under load when running on 60Hz. As mentioned above, try

One question though, this reads as an inverter in the listing, so I was
under the impression I could feed it DC in and get AC out. They reference
using a 9V battery as input in the description. Is my impression correct?
On
This is not the turn ratio. The person who wrote that text measured DC
resistance... so 260 is resistance ratio, which is a pretty useless
parameter. Both windings are most likely wound with different wires
(thicker for low voltage side, the thinnest possible on secondary).
What you need to do
Turns ratio 260... 1 Volt AC in gives about 260 Volts AC out - without rectifyers etc. Need to be very low on the AC in or you will get excessive HV out states it is for devices using much higher voltage.

It seems to me it should work. The main problems I'd watch out for are
overdriving it (an arc in a winding will ruin it), and regulating the voltage.

Hi all-
I noticed that electronics goldmine is selling compact inverter
transformers cheap, so I just ordered a few:
