These transformers WILL NOT work with conventional tesla coils.
You need a standard NST transformer, not a solid state switching power
supply.

Okay Ive been looking for a transformer on ebay, and i found these variable
2000 to 6000v 30ma transformers -->
http://cgi.ebay-dot-com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4665&item=3105018219
and
http://cgi.ebay-dot-com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4665&item=3105014130.

It mentions it's self-adjusting solid state transformer. Will this work w/
a tesla coil or do i need something more conventional?

4kV is MORE than enough to build a very nice tesla coil.
Also, for a tesla coil operating at 4kV and say up to 50mA output current,
connecting the secondary rf ground
to house ground is PERFECTLY acceptable and noise is very minimum.
