Kenneth,

I used 4 microwave oven transformers in series which gave me 6600 volts
or
so, I used a step up (240 in , 280 out) variac to get a little more
voltage.
 I had plenty of voltage to fire my gaps, so I think 6000 volts would be
fine.  I know that plenty of coilers use 6000 volts.   I obtained a 62"
flaming spark output from the coil.  I didn't use any oil, but I could
see
little "corona points" glowing between the winding and core, but it
held.  I
kept the cores connected to one side of the secondary windings, and
grounded
two of the cores.  Don't know how long it can last.  

Have fun,

John Freau
