Here are 3 sources for the transformers.  These companies are refurbishers/
rebuilders of pole type tranformers.  I personally got my 14.4 KV -at- 10 KVA
unit for $280 delivered price with a 1 year warranty from Solomon.

One thing that you might want to note is that 5 KV units are almost as expensive
as a 10 KVA unit.  These companies probably don't have anything smaller than a
10 KVA unit in stock.  What you have to keep in mind is that transformer
rebuild companies consider a 10 KVA unit a small "throw-away" unit.  Very few
transformer rebuild companies want to fool around with anything smaller than
30 KVA.  Sounds crazy, but you have to think in terms of a municipality.  I'm told
that a 20-30 KVA unit is about as small as most power companies rebuild anymore.

Hope that helps,
