  Peter, this reminds me the last trick I've seen into a defective
monitor.
The guy have mountend in parallel two HV transistors driving the same HV
transformer. Of course that one having the great h21 and shortest
connections to the transformer has die and the other is quite healty,
thank you.
The same with zenners. You'll never find a product having five zenners in
parallel. Also five zenners in series ! :)
 With other things you have said I'm agree, I read too fast the
question and thinking to a simple inductive device.

best, Vasile
