Hi Everybody,
I am gathering parts for my second coil.  I want to build the DC Tesla
coil featured in Popular electronics, November issue.  It uses two Wells
type LU800 automotive coils
I discovered that the company is out of business. (I don't want to use
any type coil because I believe I read somewhere that some types are
'resistive' and I don't know how this would effect the output)  I have
emailed the magazine asking about a possible substitution. that was over
a month ago. I haven't gotten a reply yet.
I found a company on the web that answers automotive questions (by snail
mail)
I don't want to wait that long.

Does anybody know of  substitutions for the Wells LU800?

any help would be appreciated.
Joseph
