Hi all, With all this talk about people not being able to find pigs and how
expensive they are. I realize some people just like the pig look (myself
included), but for a lot cheaper you can build a mot supply. I used Tim's 6
mot design and for 20 bucks and a little work, I have a supply rated at
13.3kv and at least 800ma. The only thing I had to buy was the oil and
something to put everything in, the mots were free.
