Thanks for the hint. I downloaded the datasheet (very minimal!) The circuit is slightly different because of the extra lowpass. I suspect there is no second winding on the output coil, and the 14k I measured is likely leakage current in the capacitor. This is the simplest switcher I ever came across. Even the fact it gets it power directly from the 300+ Volt line is amazing. Again, much appreciated... And somewhat surprised and disappointed Google didn't lead me to it. BTW, an ad on the page at datasheetspdf.com, offered them in lots of 25 at $0.1335/ea.
