The lucky part: find an old TV, radio, or guitar amp power transformer. These usually

get you 700 - 800 volts under heavy load. A voltage tripler will get you the desired 2 kV.


With these transfoprmers, to drive a CRT even quintuplers work fine. But they are
still fatal if used as electric chair supplies.
So using 350-400v I assume ac not rectified this voltage into a tripler ?
