Winston,
Have you considered T and R Electric? http://www.t-r-dot-com

I bought my 5 kVA 14.4 kV piglet from them in '99 for 185$. I was able to
meet the truck on  a PA Turnpike exit (30 mn from me) and the driver helped
me put it in my trunk. I don't know if they are still willing to do this,
but it's worth a call.

Hi All,

	I was thinking of buying a distribution xfmr from Dr. Resonance, but
then I started looking into/worrying about the shipping complications
:-(.  Plus, it looks like it's gonna cost more than $300 to ship an $85
pig :-0.  The logistics of the situation may kill it for me.

	Anyway, my dad told me about a SoCal Edison scrap/surplus yard
somewhere around Rosemead (for all you SoCal coilers).  Is this for
real???  If not, are there any other places like it in the area?

	I've hounded the power company here in Burbank, and can't get anyone
who even knows what I'm talking about, save one.  I've never been able
to speak to the people who work directly with the old equipment.  How
much is it to buy a 10 kVA pig from Solomon Corp.?

Thanks a lot,
Winston K.

PS-Have any of you guys had to ship with Yellow Freight before?  (This
is how Dr. Resonance is sending the pigs.)  I don't know how the whole
process works.  How/when do you pay them, and how do you schedule a
drop-off (when will they bring it to your house).  I haven't got a car,
so I can't pick the pig up at the freight depot.
