I would lean toward the Allanson 499FS for 15kv-at-60ma, as
opposed to the 499B that has the ground fault proctection.
The 499FS does not have the ground fault protection built in.
I am guessing but if you were to get a primary strike, or a
safety gap firing, then the ground fault protection would trigger.
Of course the 499B would help to prevent accidently death though.
But I know you are going to be very safe, go with the 499FS just
to be sure. Marvin at wensco sign supply (http://www.wensco-dot-com)
should be able to get it for you shipped for about $150.
I have also gotten 9kv-at-30ma franceformers for $50 shipped.
I am starting to want a third one. :-) Before plugging the 15kv-at-60ma
Allanson in. By the way these are all brand new NSTs.
Cheers,
Bill Parn
