HI Jason,

I have coil schematics at:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/TeslaCoils/MyCoils/BigCoil/BigCoilSCH.gif
http://hot-streamer-dot-com/TeslaCoils/MyCoils/SmallCoil/SmallCoilSCH.gif

I think most of the parameters are shown but let me know if there is something
left out.

Gary Lau has a voltage controlled switch circuit at:

Cheers,
