Chip, All
When we have to make the obligatory trip to Walt Disney World,
Kennedy Space Center, et.al., while the family shops during
"down-time", an interesting place to visit is Skycraft. They
are 1 block off I5 at Exit 45 just north of Orlando. Prices
can be defined as "high-fair". With the availability of
large amounts of government surplus in this region, the store
has a very large selection of just about anything the Tesla
Experimenter can imagine, including cable.
During our recent family vacation, bought (4) new Johnson 210
bayonet tube sockets for 811A/752B power tubes ($4.50 ea),
about 30 pounds of .030 copper sheet stock, and bar stock for ground
planes, and grounding buses (~$60.00), (2) 5kohm, 50W tapped rheostats
for grid leak bias control of a tube Tesla Coil ($2 ea.). So I
seriously chewed a Ben Franklin, I got parts that are immediately
usable.
They also had a large selection of oil burner, and neon sign
transformers in the $30-50 range. I make it a point to visit
while in Orlando for business or pleasure.
