Call around to local neon sign shopps :) With 2 calls I just got 6 NST's 3
15/60's and 3 12/60's, and probably a couple others as well (I know I have a
7/100 for sure). I did all this within 3 calls :)
If you are nice you can tell them "A really cool secret for fixing those
dead ones in the back that can save you a fortune!" and when you save them
money, they will be more willing to help you with free goodies. Make sure to
tell them the truth, be courteous, and fair. Remember, you will be dealing
with these people for YEARS if your lucky, take care of them.
The "secret" btw, is depotting to remove the carbon track :) I also
explained the concept of Shunts and current limiting to a guy and he was
enthralled that most NST's can actually put out much more than their rated
current. I think I may have a newbie coiler for your list Terry :)
hmmmm.....a list member who owns a neon sign shop......this could be nice
for all of us :)
