I could not get the switching transistor to fire.

I tried everything.

The only thing i can think of is the Step down Transformer is bad some how.

I even changed the the switching transistor, and the caps that give it a Kick start.

Started racking up the hours on it and said the heck with it...

and those god dam HV Caps do not have a discharge resistor, so I had to keep discharging them by hand.

pain in the butt.

Works now.
