One Stop Tesla Coil Shop

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

We have been considering offering items such as NSTs, variacs and magnet 
wire - items you cannot walk into nearly any home improvement store and 
purchase - for quite a while.  The problem is mostly logistics, cost, and a 
lack of product.  Simply put, we don't have sources for most of the bigger 
components nor to winding machines for winding magnet wire onto empty 
spools.  And then we have to ship heavy, possibly fragile items (the only 
time I've UPSed an NST a bushing was broken off) at no small 
expense....  And after adding up all the costs you, the buyer, could 
probably get the parts from a nearby company or off ebay for less.

We will start shipping bleeders with the new year - about as long as it 
takes this close to Christmas to order and get a thousand or two 
shipped.  Expect many extras with smaller orders ;)

We are eager for advise, offers, contacts, etc on how to get good, quality 
NSTs, variacs, wire and winding accessories.

Happy Holidays,

Mark Broker
Chief Engineer, The Geek Group
