The transformer is good for 1500 to 2500 VRMS at 0.5 A or more.

Some years ago, there was an article in one of the ham mags about converting
microwave ovens into high power microwave ham transmitters. It might give
some helpful background info. Unfortunately I can't remember the timeframe
or which mag ran it. Maybe someone else in the group can remember???

Are old high voltage components from microwave ovens useful, or should
I chuck them out in the trash?

I have several transformers that look like they are good for quite a
few watts of power, some of the high voltage diodes and several
blowers. I've been saving them.

Can they be used for power supplies for rf transmitters? Are the
blowers any good for cooling large tubes in transmitters?

Thanks,
