Re: [TCML] Wanted: 12KV 60mA NST

[jhowson4@xxxxxxxxxxx]

just an fyi for all you experimenters out there, 
I don't know how it is in other states, but here in PA it is now apparently illegal for neon shop owners to sell the non-GFI units. The only thing that the neon guy could do it recommend an outdoor type that the GFI was easy to remove. (it was really easy to do for the record) 

Thanks,

One thing you can try is calling sign shops. Get on the phone and call 
every one you can, asking them politely if they have any used neon 
transformers they would be willing to sell you. Even if you can only get 
30mA units (most likely), do that, and if you end up with two of them, you 
can run the outputs in parallel. 

When I did this years ago I ended up with a 15kV/60mA unit with a dented 
case. It was old and ugly, but it worked, and I later modified it to get 
120mA from the unit.
