Ferroresonant Transformer (Again)

[Mark Brueggemann <markb@abq.com>]

Thanks everyone for all the responses to my post about adjusting 
the output of a ferro transformer.  A number of you suggested that 
I put a buck/boost transformer on the secondary instead of the  
primary, but the Lester uses a full-wave rectifier with a center 
tap.  Is there a way I can hook a buck/boost transformer to the 
secondary configured this way?  I tried it on a small transformer 
and found that if you put it on the center tap lead you get bucking 
on one leg of the secondary and boost on the other. I have a separate 
charge controller so the original Lester control board is out of 
the picture.  I know I'm trying to make this thing do something 
that was never intended, and don't want to wreck it in the process. 
The worst that can happen is to replace a couple of weak batteries, 
I'm just cheap and looking for a simple hack I could do to get  
around spending money right now.  A new pack is in my future, 
just not my *immediate* future.  Thanks...
