Hi Seth,

Use 1/2 watt 10Meg carbon film resistors.  I seem to have just received
2000 of them tonight if you need some ;-))  It takes a little longer to get
to your part of the planet but the price is right ;-))

See the page at:

and the simple program:

Which will help you determine the number of caps, strings, and how "safe"
the thing is.

Cheers,

	Terry
