All,
Sorry but that rather terse last post of mine was not actually meant for the
list - but I will add that this NST appears (make and appearance) to be the
same as I used once. The GFI unit on that was inside just under the lid,
rather than being buried in the resin, so easily removable.
Regards

There are a few that will sell them in the la/orange county area… just type
up a pair of release of liability forms.
That’s all I had to do.

We had a supplier of NSTs from one of the largest neon sign companies here
in the Western US. They had piles of them in all different sizes and sold
for $15.00. When I went back to get another one, they will not sell them to
anyone anymore. Something about liability. They just throw them away. I
have tried smaller neon stores, what is left of them, and the same thing.
No go.

Troy,
Unfortunately there is no good, regular supplier of NST's and /
or OBITS in the UK that I know of.
It would be well worth asking on the UK mailing list
tcbouklist-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:tcbouklist-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for pre loved
transformers and you may get other answers from some of the other UK
coilers who lurk here to.
All of my NST's have been from sign makers who have replaced neon
signs with LED, but even that supply has dried up recently. Might be
worth perusing though.
OBits are still available and hunting around boiler manufacturers
for scrapped/replacement units is probably the way to go. Otherwise
there are plenty of MOT's out there.
If you would like to meet other UK coilers I strongly suggest the
Cambridge teslathon
http://www.extremeelectronics.co.uk/cambridge-teslathon/ at the end
of October.
Cheers
Derek

Hi All,
It's been many, many years since I've posted to this list. I'm
originally from Canada, and I built a number of coils there over the
years, my first being in about 1998 or so... All of them have been
OBIT and NST based SGTCs.
Anyway, I moved to the UK about 6 years ago and I'm interested in
putting together a small TC here. My first coil was with an OBIT and
ideally that's what I'm thinking for this one... Or something around
200-300 watts. But where does one go to find high voltage
transformers in this country? Neon Sign transformers seem to be very
difficult to come by here. I've found some online sellers that seem
to still be selling brand new non-electronic transformers but
they're awfully expensive. It was easy to acquire used NSTs and OBITS
back in Canada.
I have not been able to find any on E-bay even... At least none that
are located in the UK and rated for 230v.
I've been considering a DRSSTC, but so far I've had limited success
with sstcs... I'd like to put together a good old fashioned small
SGTC first and then make another attempt at an SSTC or DRSSTC.
Cheers,
Troy.
