All,
Beware of low priced neon sign 'transformers'. Make sure you are
not being quoted on one of the newfangled hi-frequency switching
type supplies that are starting to replace real 60 Hz iron transformers in
sign service. I haven't had a chance to play with one of these
hi-freq supplies yet, but would like to do so to evaluate their
potential (great pun) for exciting a plasma display.
If not sure check the shipping weight, the solid state packs don't
weigh 30+ pounds.
