Folks.. I'm not sure eBay is a good way to buy a neon sign transformer. They're heavy, and by the time you add in shipping, you might be better to just buy one brand new from a local distributor. A cursory glance shows several 15kV/30mA transformers for about $40-45 plus another $10 in shipping plus another buck or two in insurance. There's another one that is $60+$25 shipping.
