Paul,

Start very small!  use only a small neon sign transformer and about 300 
watts or less.  Build your own caps, etc.  You'll have a lot of fun, 
spend minimal bucks, and learn a lot.  You will have a lot of learning to 
do on this first coil.  Take your time and try and understand all facets 
of tuning, loading, etc.  Dink around a bit to get the feel for the 
system.  From this point you can decide if you want to continue with 
coils or not without having spent a lot of bucks.
