Well, I drove over to C and H's warehouse today, but no luck with the pole 
pigs yet. The guy running the place said he hadn't gotten any in a couple of 
years, but man did they have a lot of stuff there. I don't know how they 
possible keep track of it all, but they must somehow. I did something that 
some of you coilers out there might be interested in. They actually had a 
couple of what appeared to be HUGE spun aluminum toroids. I couldn't get a 
close look at them because they were up on a really tall rack, but they 
looked to be at least four or five feet across. They had one that was single, 
and a pair that were attached to each other by some short aluminum pipes. I 
also saw a number of other interesting high voltage items there. There was 
one item that appeared to a high voltage DC supply. I don't know what it was 
for exactly, but it was about 4 feet high, with small toroids along its 
entire height. Running through the toroids were a series of PC boards with 
diodes capacitors and resistors. It could have been some sort of large 
voltage multiplier. There was a similar looking object next to it, minus the 
PC boards, with a large radiation sticker on it.  It was a very cool 
experience overall. I've never seen so much surplus electrical stuff in one 
spot.
