I bought a 10 KVA pig from T&R about 2 months ago. I did not say that I was
going to use it for a tesla coil. I also happen to be an electrical engineer
with many years of experience, so that fact helped me a lot when talking to
them. T&R, like many other businesses, has probably been bitten by the
liability bug. I picked mine up myself because I was within a reasonable
driving distance. You can make your own judgement about whether to mention
tesla coils or not. If you do, make sure that you know what you are talking
about or you will scare these guys off. If T&R is again selling pigs for
coil use, that is great. By the way, I paid $300 for mine.
