I think we can get 1:1 isolation transformers for probaly $10-12 each.
Maybe even less $$$ since we don't need as much current as "usual" (not
driving the color guns and deflection off it).

So is it "safe" for an HV transformer to have its anode coupled to ground
through a resistor? (To just burn off the HV output without having to hook
it up to an actual CRT.) Might not want to be generating soft x-rays while
figuring things out...
