Yes, better said Ed.

Sorry to hear about the scale biting the dust on a nice Simpson. Was 
this unloaded just playing around with the transformer with a cap across 
the output? Probably the safe way to do that would be to load 
resistively and scale. The simulations I was messing with showed some 
amazingly high voltages at resonance if there's no other load. The 
transformer would never survive (assuming nothing else died first).

    Unloaded except for capacitor.  This was one of those cases where 
right after it happened I wondered why I was doing it as the problem was 
obvious.  Live and learn!
