Thanks to all that gave advice for finding a small transformer for inverting 12VDC to 1700V. I am now using this tiny inverter for the backlight in laptop LCD displays. It has a 900VAC, 5mA output and with just a few diodes I was able to boost it to 1700VDC - just what I needed. This thing is so small, just 1 34" x 7/8".
