[TCML] Re: Godfrey Loudner



I'm interested in your collection and sorry to hear about the death. 
I'm wondering if you have any equipment that could be donated for education on this subject. You may have read my post earlier, I'm a 15 year old building a tesla coil at school. I'm looking for a Neon Sign Transformer and/or a 120v input Variac. Anything that can be donated would be appreciated as it would be used for me, and other students to learn about tesla coils. I'm in an enrichment class so we do stuff like this for bonus learning. An arrangement can be made for shipping, depending on where you are. Let me know what you have, thanks.

I have an obligation to the Estate to do my best in disposing of these transformers - additionally I cannot incur shipping costs - and I really do mean over 1 ton of transformers - literally hundred's.  What exactly is "hackerspace" and "RIT"?  If arrangements could be made for pick-up - we may be able to come to some agreement. JDavey

The good thing about doing it this way is you can Photoshop it anyway you want. Rather than going from 0 - 100, it could go to from 0 - 240 volts, 0 - 280, or whatever. You can also clean up any scratches.
