Recently I attached a 2nd toroid to my coil which brought it rather near
the ceiling.  Upon firing it up, sparks went to a certain spot in the
ceiling and I thought, "how interesting".  What apparently happened was
that the sparks went to the ac wiring and at that moment all my X-10
remote lighting apparatus became damaged: half a dozen wall switches and
3 "mini controllers".  Now, none of the switches will turn on remotely,
but all will turn on & off locally and all remain otherwise capable--they
can be turned off locally and they can be dimmed and turned off remotely
from the mini-controllers.

Another thing that apparently happened was that the electronically-stored
outgoing message on a small answering machine in the room above got wiped
out.  My computer was there also but it it it it it it seems OK OK OK OK
OK.........
