Re: [TCML] MOT shunts

There is no way you should have to pay that much for a 15kV 30mA neon sign 
transformer!!! That price should easily get you a NEW 15kV 60mA transformer. 
Check eBay. I have seen a lot of 15kV 30mA transformers going for around $50 
plus shipping, especially if you are patient and wait to catch the right 
one. There are usually several of them available at any one time.
