Re: [TCML] Pole Transformers for sale

I bought my 10 KVA pig from T&R Electric about 15 years ago for $275 as I recall. I picked it up myself though and I paid them on the spot in cash. To be sure they would sell to me, I made up a story that I was starting a neon sign shop and needed the pig as a bombarder. Fortunately they didn't know anything about making neon signs because my knowledge about that subject was only skin deep.

It seems like I read a posting on here some time back stating that T&R Electric would no longer sell to the public. There was a lot of lamentation about that. If so, you may need an appropriate cover story.

I hate deception but if that is what it takes to get a pole pig, then some deception may be necessary unfortunately.

David,

What ever happened to T & R Electric?  Awhile 
back, I'm astounded to see that it was in 2002, I 
purchased a 5 KVA pig from them for $199, 
delivered.  They had their own truck and driver 
that traveled America's highways dropping off 
transformers along the way, sort of like Johnny 
Appleseed.  I see that they still have an active 
web site so it might be worth a shot.  Of course 
their corporate philosophy toward dispensing 
dangerous hardware to rank amateurs may have 
changed in the succeeding 16 years.
