I just recieved my first pole pig myself today. It was also from T&R.
It is 15KVA 19.9KV xfmr. I bought it for $395 shipping to Michigan
and a 2 year warrentyincluded.I had also priced a 14.4kv 10kva xfmr 
out at $295 including shipping from both Soloman and T&R. I had a 
hard time picking which company to choose. Everyone has had 
praises for both companies. Chicken of the Sea or Starkist, I just don't
know. 
Does anyone else have a comment on the 2 mentioned companies?

It looks beautiful! I can't wait to fire it up, sometime
this summer (procrastination and wifes interruptions figured in).

Richard, I talked to you a while back concerning this subject. You 
recommended a 14.4kv instead of 19.9kv because of quenching problems.
I went ahead with the 19.9kv, figureing if you can make it work, I will 
eventually be able to also. Plus I am still thinking of using my 50kv xfmrs
eventually, and this will give me practice. I opted for 15kva so that
while I am running at a reduced 14.4kv (using my variac) I will have the
same current available at that voltage as the 10kva xfmr, and when I run
up to 19.9kv I will have plenty of current to to do apple to apple
comparisons.
I think that when I need more power, I will then turn my energies tword
magnifier designs.
