Re: dumb newbie question...looking for transformers

Hi Aaron,

I'm not sure you want to run a 15KV 60ma coil inside. When I was at this power level I got 59 inch arcs with a static gap and 67 inch arcs with a SRSG. Ebay is a great sourse of NST's and a 12KV 30ma would be a good choice for a small coil.

I have kind of a dumb newbie question.  I haven't built a coil in years,
but was wanting to make a table-top one.  I'm looking for a good source of
transformers.  In this neck of the woods, there don't seem to be too many
neon signs to pull transformers off of, and given the choice, I'd rather
have a transformer with a little more umph to it anyway (e.g. 15kv @ 60mA
or so).  Primary can be either 120 or 240 volts.
