I have asked that question many times to supliers in the area. It is just easier for them to keep an inventory of
one type of the many transformers. Unlike your shop Dirk many supliers don't specialize in 'only neon'. However,
one supplier has told me that if I could promise the purchase of "x" amount of transformers per year he would
stock them for me. I would like to see a change in the common WF or window frame styles to be stocked in
20ma instead of 30ma. I DO think tube life, not neccessarily an increase, would be affected. I think there are
more reasons not to load a 8 thru 10mm tube on 30ma than there are reasons to load it on 20ma.
