MPJA has a transformer that is 24VAC and 10 amps, for 240VA. a pair
in series is $38.00 so would be 48 volts and 10 amps, 480 VA.

I think that with the Gecko having a limit of 80 volts and a 48volt
unregulated power supply comming out at 66 volts, the sweet spot would
be more like 55 volts of a trans.

A toroidal transformer of 55 volts an 800 VA on E-bay is roughly
$70.00 . you have to buy two and shipping is another $20.00

I am curious why you picked 40 volts.
