(I haven't done it myself, but...)

A local high school science class has produced high-temperature
superconductors at least twice in the past year. (Two different
set of students.)

You might be able to get them (or the responsible teacher)
to give you some information about their method, equipment,
suppliers and so on.

(Dammned phone books...)

Well, try this phone number (it probably isn't the right one, but
it should get you started on the right path...the stupid phone book
doesn't list which school is where, but I think I got the right
street. [I don't live in Gilroy])

	408-842-6414

Good luck.  If this doesn't work, blame the Gilroy Dispatch
newspaper. :}
