I recently acquired a General Electric potential transformer.  I was 
wondering if anyone had some info on how to incorporate a transformer 
like this into a Tesla coil system.  Problems, safety considerations 
or comments would be welcomed.  I was wondering if a rotary-gap would 
be required to use this transformer or not.  I haven't done anything 
with the trannie yet, but I did test it, and it appears good.  Anyone 
know how much it would be worth on the used market?  It's in good 
condition.  Here's more information from the nameplate:
