Re: New coiler, also in search of 15kv

Chris,
Well, you did well ;^) because there's usually considerable
competition for the larger NSTs, especially the 15 kV ones
and 15/60's do in fact usually end up around the $100 mark
by the close of the auction, thanks to the last minute (literally)
flurry of ebay snipers. All that I can say about your aquisition
is that you obviously caught the competition "napping" and
that you should consider yourself lucky. BTW, would this
transformer of yours happen to be the newer GFI type?
Coilers don't go as hot for the GFI type because the GFI
feature renders them fairly useless for Tesla service unless
you can figure out how to defeat the internal GFI circuitry.

Well I wouldn't say that - I just bought a 15kV 60mA fransformer NST
off ebay for 15 bucks with 15 dollar shipping. I looked for them
new and for a smilar item it was over 100.

Hi, I too am planning to build a tesla coil over the
summer. While ebay is alright, the bidding wars can cause major
headaches. Does anyone have a NST @ 15KV, 30 or better yet 60ma
they would be willing to sell?

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.
