     Forgive me, but I'm not as well versed in transformers as perhaps I
should be:
     Why not interconnect the windings as you have suggested, but leave the
transformers intact and separated? Wouldn't you have the same flux density, 
but
in a modular setup without the hassle of dismantling them? Or is making the
core a common component essential to balanced output?
     I always suspected those MOT's were a bit small for their output.
