	I dunno. From the pictures, it looks like the transformer has so few turns
as to be easy to rewind for 2X or 4X the original voltage. At that point you
have an EXCELLENT supply for a DC coil. Plus, a little back engineering may
show an easy way to increase the power. Add a little oil bath for the whole
thing...
