>Hello,
A good source for new Neon Xformers is Actown Electrocoil
P.O. Box 248 
Spring Grove, IL 60081
815-675-6641
815-675-2050 fax

I bought 4 12000 30ma unit and since this was my first order they had an
offer of one
free xformer, it was a 9000 30ma unit but I talked them into sending me a
12000 30 ma
unit so I only had to pay for three xformers! The prices are resonable ($50-$60)
I have been using them for over a year and no failures (44 inch discharge up
to 1 min. run times!) Even so used xformers can be had for $10 $30, in my
area anyway. Good luck.
