As promised, I have put up two pictures (one is a labeled diagram) of the
reconstruction of my neon sign transformer.

Enjoy!
Now, about d-Limonene: Mine came from an analytical lab where I worked,
and it is probably only available pure through mail order chemical
suppliers like VWR, Aldrich, Fisher, etc... You can most certainly get
it from them. There are also a couple of cleaning products on the market
like Citrus XL which say 90%+ d-Limonene. These cleaners have water in
them, but this is ok, since you only need to soak the core pieces and the
primary- you NEVER want to use solvents on the secondary windings (fire
hazard, insulation problems, etc...). The bad thing about the d-Limonene
cleaners is that they smell very powerfully of oranges. Nauseatingly
powerful in fact.
