	I also have one of these.  While running with a 15KV 60ma NST at 120 
bps I haven't noticed any temperature change.  I was getting 38" streamers.  
But when I started running at 1.2 KVA using 10kv 120ma at 240bps I also 
noticed some temperature change, only a few degrees, after a 30 second 
run.  At this point I was getting 54" arcs to the ceiling and didn't want to 
rase the power due to fire hazards. :)
