Ah yes, and what I used to do with those transformers is run them --backwards-- to get the audio up to a very high voltage (hundreds of volts). To do that, I'd buy them by the box from a surplus place and weed out the ones with very good insulation. Then I'd hook the outer taps up to large pieces of plexiglass that I painstakingly drilled thousands of holes into, and sprayed with carbon paint. Then I'd sandwich a very, very, very, very, very thin piece of mylar between them, and lightly spray it with carbon or soap, and hook it to the center tap of that transformer, with a very high static voltage in between. I had various schemes to produce that voltage starting with oil burner igniter transformers, car ignition coils, etc., but ending with the a nice big stack of voltage multipliers which seemed to work best. I think you know what I'm getting at Paul, just add a nice subwoofer and enjoy (for a few months until too many arcs force you to rebuild). Oh to be young and foolish again! I'm probably too old to appreciate sound that good anymore anyhow. -- Anthony Carrico
