Hi Larry,

The NSTs we use are just plain current limited iron core transformers like
they have been making for 70+ years.  Perhaps this one is electronic and
thus the very high frequency output.  I don't know of anyone ever using an
electronic NST but it would be "interesting".  The electronics may just
blow right up.  You would be sort of on the bleeding edge of technology
there.  High risk but interesting...  I am pretty sure you would have to
rectify the output to DC to get it to work with a coil.

Cheers,

	Terry
