Lynn,
That aluminum spiral evaporator tube will be an excellent flat spiral
primary for a neon powered TC. Don't let the Freon Police see you
salvaging it from the dehumidifier though. You should buff it down
with Scotchbrite (plastic scouring pad material available at the
grocery store) so that you get a good connection at the end and where
your flying tap will go.
