Important: Re: Custom Neon Xfrmrs in UK
I just got a call from Tunewell after I sent my order saying that they'd
rather not be mentioned for this kind of Xfrmr on the internet as they
do not conform to CE regulations and they could possibly get into
trouble for this. SO please don't call them saying you got their number
from me or this list! I'm sure they'd still be happy to do the work for
you, but I have been asked to sign a disclaimer saying that I am solely
responsible should I fry myself with these things!! Please say that you
found them through the telephone directory or another company if you
call - I would hate to see such a great company get into any bother over
this
Thanks and happy coiling...

PS I want to keep these two puppies very happy - I've heard something
about using diodes in the protection circuit - anybody got any ideas to
stop me blowing these lovely things I'd be reaaaly grateful.

Dear All,
I just spent over 2 days searching London for old NSTs. It seems that in
this country anything above 10kV, 30mA has just been outlawed. I have
phoned around loads of places looking for my ideal set of four 10kV 50mA
units, only to hear they all threw then away about a month or two ago,
or all the units are fried beyond repair. One place had dumped about 12
of these lovely machines in one go and these were in total working order
- I nearly cried when I heard this. Anyway, being tired of scrounging, I
was put onto one of our major manufacturers for NSTs in the UK,
Tunewell. Although they are much more pricey than second-hand stuff,
they will build you a custom transformer up to (or even maybe beyond)
10kV at 100mA. They do this totally to your order - I asked for two
matched 10kv-at-100mA units, with no casing or encapsulation, terminated
with good straps, suitable for immersion in oil, and they quoted me
103GBP per unit exc VAT. Considering these are BRAND NEW, custom built,
1KVA units this is a marvellous price. They are extremely polite and
co-operative, and seem to know far more about what they sell than any
high-street place... give them a call on 0181 807 3671. Ask for Steve or
perhaps Glen in the Tech Department.
