Half Cycle Magnetizer

I'm looking for a half cycle magnetizer schematic for 60 cycle, 120 volts. I used one at work before I retired, but it was built for a higher industrial voltage. I would like to build one from scratch using the standard 120 volt line. I know that it must be contained in a protective box, takes many turns of transformer windings, and uses a high speed thyristor.
