Chris,
What a stroke of luck that your friend killed your transformer with his
laser pointer! Don't let this coincidence stop you from getting a new
transformer, at his expense. Demand that your friend pay the replacement
price plus shipping. Tell him that all the experts agree, and he owes you a
new trans. Everyone knows not to point a laser at a working Tesla coil, it's
the law........somewhere. He he he.
