Mike, All;

I'm no Diamond Jim Brady but I'll ante up $20.00 American to Mike for the
'Send-a-Franceformer-to-New Zealand' cause. Surely, with all the members on
this list, there are a few others who would be willing to pony up five or
ten clams for such a noble cause.

Any takers?

All,

I recently offered to donate a Franceformer 4020SE to Malcom Watts so that
he
could participate in the "Tabletop Tesla Coil Showdown" because I for one
would
be interested in his entry.

Well I guess I was being a bit naive because I found out it would cost ~$80
to
ship it UPS. Needless to say I can't afford to be THAT generous and Malcom
is
not interest in paying $192 NZ for a transformer worth a tiny fraction of
that.
Also, I spoke with Franceformer today and they have no official
distributors
outside of the US but they offered to try and locate an intermediary closer
to
New Zealand.

Having said that, if anybody knows of a much less expensive shipping option
or
happens to be taking a trip to New Zealand in the near future please
contact
me.

Come to think of it I need a vacation - hows the weather in New Zealand
this
time of year Malcom ;-)
