Pictured are actually a very small (just 15 or so) part of a buy out of a sign store. I actually filled the bed of a small truck with ALL WORKING NSTs. I will be at the Tesla-Thon out here in AZ if anyone has any interest.
I also had a chat with the owner about "non-ground fault" NSTs as well as solid state and frankly I am not entirely sure how many I will sell as I have another lunch with this guy in a few days (I have MORE to pick up). This gentleman believes that the "Hobby" type of NST will eventually become rare.
Franceformer stopped making non-ground fault units in 2003 and Magnetron is for all rights out of business. High quality NSTs are starting to dry up so I thought I would get some while I could I have really no working price figure at this time as I need to see what is really practical but I like to trade. My prices will beat anything on eBay or AmazingOne or whatever - that;s a certainty.
"Alliance" or "Allison" or whatever the non-brand that Amazing One (Information Unlimited) is putting their name on has brought up some issues.... It is made very inexpensively in Thailand and the tar cracks as well as the housing is especially weak. When the parent company made them; they made them well with thick boxes - I have about 6-8 of those "white ones" and I picked them very carefully. The cracking is NOTHING in a smaller unit because out here the heat will crack some of the Tar and one day later the crack is completely gone. But the 60ma units stay warm due to higher current and they are so large the crack stays (especially in cold climates). They are cosmetically a drag but don't appear to be a serious problem but for $259 I would want a perfect one. I also have Fancefomrer's "super small" units that are 3-5Kv. The 3kv units are in better shape and have less demands than the 5000v. I know that for a fact.
They are building some for Amazing at 15k 60ma that have been returned several times for several reasons.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I found some unique issues with NSTs and will likely have some for a LONG time (unless I sell off a batch at a shot). I may post one more pic when I get all of them in a pyramid 
I am very much into trading

Cool, do you still have any? How much money (USD) do you want for a small size one?
