Tom,
That canister in the transformer is probably a PFC capacitor. (Power Factor
Correction). It is wired to the two primaries to increase the efficiency of
the transformer. PFC phases the voltage peak and the amperage peak of the AC
sine wave so they occur at he same time. Many coilers have NST's that are
not internally power factor corrected. To decrease the amperage draw, many
use motor run caps across the mains as PFC caps.

	I will depot a 15 kv neon and place that puppy in xmf / mineral oil
for
	added protection

	A note on depotting the neon using the cold / cook method - It was
by
	far the most efficient not to mention (cleaner) method - Compared to
	the  hot cook method that opted to try the first time (what a mess)!

	As long as your careful and don't get carried away one should be ok
	using the cold cook method - Most of my xmfs had extra protection on
the
	secondary some kind of cardboard jacket so that was my stopping
point -
	The most difficult part was freeing that tar baby from the case.

	Question some of the neon's have a cylinder wired between the
primary
	leads is this some sort of thermal switch?

	Once again thanks for the help!


	Cheers

	Tom
