The 600 volt inverter is available from Jameco Electronics (800) 831-4242 for 14.95. Part # 146190. It is a 600 volt rms - 4ma inverter (30khz) with a 5 volt input at 200ma. I have used these puppies for Geiger supplies.

Re: HV Power Supply Schematic
Richard - Are these the PICO supplies.. ? I know they make some cute little ones for 500v that are about 1/2" cube or smaller.

Re: HV Power Supply Schematic
The Pico supplies are far too extravagant for my tastes. The supply used as the AC source is a common CCFL inverter. There's one in every laptop computer and LCD monitor. All Electronics has a 12V input model for about $10. Richard Hull has pointed an available 5V model at Jameco for about the same price. The inverter I'm using now is a TDK device from a local surplus store. It uses all surface mount components, and is about the same size as a pack of gum.

Re: HV Power Supply Schematic
The Jameco device is a standard TDK Cold Cathode tube power supply. It is new, and not surplus. It is not a pico supply. It is the size of a pack of chewing gum and is just a minature phenolic circuit board with inductors and SM components.
