I regularely use the HP 412B 2kV HV supply, basicly a 2kv version of the 410B. Its so easy to use, and verry precise. It only needed a new cap for the internal reference a few years back. The downside is the 32mA output, almost 32mA more than 1 need. The output is in series with a relay that should eventually kick in above the 32mA. Colleague got a shock from the his 3kV version once (415B), he was not amused.
