Not a problem David.  I understand completely.  I'm
not really serious about obtaining a pig right now--I
just like knowing the location of rebuilder/rewinder
businesses for "some day".

For one thing, I already own a serviceable 11KV pig. 
It stood in a couple of feet of salty floodwater in my
garage for a few hours, but no water got inside the
jacket.  It seems fine.  For another thing, I'm not
even active in the hobby right now.  I'm still
rebuilding and remodeling my home thanks to a radical
makeover imposed by hurricane Katrina. This list is
really my only participation in the hobby since Sep
2005.  Maybe in a year or two I'll actually have time
to properly search my area for transformer rewinding
shops.

There's an industrial motor/generator rewinding shop
only about 4 miles from me (Long Beach, MS).  They are
only about 3 blocks from the beach.  It's incredible
that they still exist!  I wonder if they redo
transformers too?  If I ever get this house finished,
I'll go find out.

Cheers,

Greg
