Well Jeremy my project is going along. I have found a 7.5kv 30ma neon
xfrmr for the great price of free. I also have some tungsten rods free
too.
I am
planning on building my secondary coil exactly like yours 4" diameter
18"
long with
24gauge wire. I was wondering if you are making your own cap or do you
know
where
I might find one that I could use. It seems my coil will resemble yours
pretty closely.
