Recognize This Power Source?

Build or buy a 20 Kvolt probe.

Really? mine ran just fine.

You said yours had a pot. One of mine has a pot which seems to have no effect. Any idea what it's for?

Once I get a high voltage probe (thanks Mike), I'll let you know what it does or if it does anything.

Peace,

I got my probe yesterday. I got the voltage and the positive/negative question answered. I hooked up an Alden female and ran some hene's with it today.

@ pseudolobster -- the square was indeed the negative

It is putting out 18KV. I forgot to mess with the pot to see what it might do. I haven't wired anything yet in a way that I can measure the current anyway.

If you recall, they sent me a second one (unsolicited --I had already left them positive feedback -- I told them, "Thank you.") because the key was broken off in shipment. I now have an extra. Does anybody need an 18KV brick power source that runs on 115V mains? You will have to change the wall plug, the Alden socket, and work with a key being broken off in the switch. The switch works, the key is just broken off in it. If you need/want it, it can be yours for $30 plus shipping.

Peace,
