Hi Phillip,

There is a Yahoo group just for UK coilers:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcbouklist/

They have a site here:

http://www.tcbouk.org.uk/

They would certainly know all about getting parts in the UK.  Many of 
them are on this list too.

Richie has a great site with general info:

http://www.richieburnett.co.uk/tesla.shtml

http://www.richieburnett.co.uk/parts.html#schematic

Neon sign transformers are a little hard to get in the UK and hard to 
ship over since they are heavy.  But the local guys over there will 
know all the tricks ;-))

Cheers,

        Terry
