Jeff:
I used to go to the dump and get the old transformers from old TV sets. I
would break down the core and if the 120 primary was the bottom winding, I
would then rewind these for low voltage transformers for stereo amps or
filament transformers for transmitting tubes. At the time it was fun. I
would not even consider today trying to wind a high voltage transformer for
Tesla work. Simply a personal choice. A pole pig is a much better choice
for me and the cost is reasonable. I paid $290 for my 10 Kva 14,400 VAC pig
and the shipping ended up being about $24 to our plant. T&R just drove up
and dropped it off here in Wisconsin. I would suggest this before trying to
wind your own. Good Luck either way!
