yup, thats one thing i dont like about this new electronics recycling is that my parts are so hard to come by now, and the plants wont release their inventory.
i have my dual 2n3055 flyback driver, and tried my new zvs driver on a new(old)flyback, although i think the flyback was toast, since there was arcing coming out of the ceremic and in to my primary.
however i resorted to this option since i am trying to compact this charger circuit to watch size, this is for a pulse charger, so charge time I am not worried about, my specific end goal here is to simulate a piezo spark similar to ones in bbq lighters,
i got:

and wired the triggger part of the circuit like this:

using my 200v boost converter as the charge circuit, maybe i need to check my wiring, but i did not see any spike on the scope at the 6kv side, prolly since the flash charge was so small, i notice the boost converter has little current also, and the load draw from the scope even causes volts to drop a bit,
i have also tried a voltage multiplyer on the output and a darlington config of 2 boosters, but i am unable to get past that 200v, infact both those additions failed, prolly a wiring issue on my behalf.
ideally i'd like to use that transformer listed above, but i thought i'd stop and "figure out where i am" here
edit: actually even 400v would be good for now, but i have even expanded to use this circuit, but everything still sits at 200v at output:

...id still like to get up to my 6kv thou
