Ouch! - lead lined boxers are on order. :-)

I do have the hookup cables, they are slightly corroded and in need of cleaning, but should still be servicable. I do not have, and have not been able to locate, manuals or documentation of any kind. I would dearly love to get my hands on a set of schematics for this thing, I have the skills and tenacity to take a shot at it, and am just dumb enough not to know better. :-)

But, right now I don't even know if my old 30KVA probe is enough to test the HV in this bugger, although the earlier post indicates NOT. I'm in the process right now of rebuilding my workbench, but once it's done I'll probably get this all set up, stand far away (with my dosimiter clipped to my shirt pocket :-) and bring 'er up real slowly on the variac. If she survived storage intact, she should fire up, as she was operational when stored.

Thanks again for all the feedback!
