Capacitor size required --  .005 MFD.   Sec. length to be 4 1/2 times the
dia. of sec. coil.   Use #26 or #28 AWG wire on the sec.   Small toroid or
2-3" ball for sec terminal.

Use 24 turns scrap wire for primary until you can tune and determine correct
tap, then replace with #12 AWG wire.

Sparks 12-14 inches to be expected.

Regards.

Dr. Resonance
