We should congratulate Aaron also, from whom the recipe for a 
dual-MOT ballast originated week on hvlist (actually, Carl did 
mention that below, but I thought I should point it out again for 
posterity's sake :))

Anyway, thanks to both Carl and Aaron for giving me something to do 
tonight :D  I just tried this with two *similar* MOTs, having the 
same rated voltage and power capacity, and it appeared to work out ok 
for a relatively small load (about 3A).  Unfortunately, I'm an NST 
coiler and hadn't done anything with these MOTs until tonight, so I'm 
struggling to find a larger load to play with!  Where's a third MOT 
when you need one?!  Time to go to eBay, methinks...

Safe TC'ing,
-Alex"

   How about an electric iron or heater as a test load?
