Hello!
I'm new to this list, and have already learned some stuff, and enjoy the
conversations. This piqued my interest a little, because I love electrical
surplus gear. I was wondering if anyone knew if this Vulcan Surplus has a
catalog of any sort?
Also, I have built several small(er) tesla coils, and would like to work
on a larger one now. I have been reading about coils powered by pole pigs. I
am curious if anyone has any details about using such a transformer for
coils (that they would care to share with me). I know you have to have input
ballasts. What is the best thing to use for this? I saw a post earlier about
obtaining them from T & R. Is this the best way to get one? Would the local
power company be willing to dispose of one of their older ones (cheaply)?
Any advise would be appreciated.
