Hmm,

That sounds attractive, but the cost is too much for me.

How about the option for more distant coil builders:  pull the core/coil
assembly out and ship that --- approx weight 90 lbs?

How big is the core?
How much labor cost would that be?

PS: I will be at the Cheesehead teslathon and want to bring something pig
related back with me.
