Dave: While I haven't had the chance to check the page number, go to
radioshack-dot-com and search for 900-3140. I think that will work and the cost
is around $2. Be careful about insulating it.

Also, do NOT use the wirewound resistors as shown in the PDF. They should be
between the dimmer and the HEI on the HOT side not across the 120V. I fixed
the file but I haven't gotten it to Terry for replacement purposes.
I'll be glad to answer any questions.

What size coil are you building this for?

I'm very anxious to build this triggered spark gap but I'm having a hard
time finding a part, specifically the replacement triac for the dimmer.  The
document says that I need a Motorola triac part# MAC223AB  in a TO-220 case.
Could someone please direct me to someone who has this part or tell me what
I could use as a replacement?
Thanks
