On a visit to someone in my local hospital I had a walk around and discovered a repair department,
after some chit-chat I I was given (unofficial) permission to dumpster dive / skip salvage.
I got some neat stuff from there, but no longer as I can't travel.
So, when you are well and fit - visit your local hospital.

Cool!
Also relevant: old portal detectors sometimes have "interesting" parts in them.

No plans other than saving some of the best looking parts, like SCRs.
A 500 Hz transformer is not that practical and I have other much newer ferrite core hv transformers that I want to take for a spin instead, but that has to wait for another day :)

Damn neat mate! Very interesting setup in terms of the battery and frequency! Where/how did you find it?
