I have had great success with OBITS (oil burner trannies) so too has Weazle,
who helped me obtain mine. OBITS are surprisingly easy to obtain, at least
where I live. Here there are No NSTs whatsoever (small town - no neon, no
neon dealers). Go to a heating supply place, they usually just toss them
when they replace a furnace. I picked up six OBITS for free just laying in a
pile at a sheet metal and heating place here, they all worked too. I would
reccomend using at least 3-4 of them, this gives you about 690 - 920 VA,
which isn't a whole lot, but it works for a small coil, and you can always
use more!
Good luck
