Subject: Primary Transformer Question
Folks,
Here's a real newbie question for someone. I set out to Mendelsons
Surplus to look for a neon sign transformer, being informed by a
friend who works there that they had some around, and what I found
was a huge transformer that looks like it could light broadway.
What I had in mind was a small one like what one would find on a
bar window beer sign, etc. The books/plans I read just call for
a neon sign transformer, and don't seem to make mention of size.
What's going on here? What size ttranny do I need for a, say, 250 KV
coil project? Thanks very much.

John -
Typically Mendelson's wants $100 for a 12KV 30 ma transformer. This is
about 3x the going rate. I asume you are talking about those huge old
"Toddlers", "Menswear" displays, etc.
(Unless Ed A. is giving you a deal of course...)
Contact me privately - we know where to get these things all day long
for about $20/each at a sign shop in N. Ky.
One or two 12Kv 30ma units would be fine for a first coil!
