I was looking at the site for the geek group's SW caps. In the list of things
you need, what is a "5-way" binding post panel mount. Would 1 of these be
sufficent for my TC? (15kv NST) Also, could I use any variac for my NST. I was
looking at this one on ebay.

me real question is, can i use any 120VAC varaic to use on my transformer?
Another question, I need to build a "dead mans switch" for my TC. Does anyone
know where i could get a good switch for it? I also need a few toggle switches
for the "control" box i am making for my TC. Could i use any 120VAC toggle
switch for this?
Thanks
