Nick,

Check out "http://www.lightwriters-dot-com/nw/" Lightwriters neonware
has an online catalog. They want $53.80 plus $10 for shipping
and handling for a 15 KV 30 Ma, Transco Poly-Lok. They accept
credit cards and ship same day. They have all kinds of transformers
including those 15 KV 120 Ma kind. They also have 24 KV bombarder
transformers that have hugh current ratings, but they want $2,000
for one of these.

For my coil, I thought a bank of these would be expensive, thats
why I bought a pole pig. Maybe I should count my blessings.
