[Test-Equipment] Another boat anchor - Del Electric High voltage supply?

[rbethman]

Ron - Take a look at a Heath HP-23 series power supply schematic.

The high voltage for the plates was derived by either doubling or 
tripling with diodes!

Just be SURE to use the appropriate voltage rated diodes!
