Transformer Questions???

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

I have just gained an interest in tesla coils and have acquired a set of 
plans to walk me through construction of a tesla coil.  The plans call for 
(4) 4000v, 30ma current ltd open core coil transformers wired together to 
obtain an 8000v output.  I have two high output transformers 
currently.  One says gaseous tube transformer outdoor non weather proof 
normal power factor, primary 120v, secondary 9,000, 60hz, 270V.A., 30ma, 
Secondary Mid Point Grounded;  and the second says neon transformer, 
primary 120v, secondary 12,000v, 360V.A., 3.30A., 30ma, Secondary Mid Point 
Grounded to case.  Can either of the later be used to replace the four 
transformers wired together?  It seems to me it would save alot of trouble?

Thanks in advanced!
