Hi Robert,
The method I used to support my secondary was to first cut a large hole in 
the plywood where the secondary would normally sit on. The secondary then 
went through the hole and sat on a little wood platform in the center of 
the lower deck that was supported by four threaded rods. The platform had 
holes the size of the rods drilled into it, the rods went through it, and 
the whole thing was kept from sliding down the rods via hex nuts. The rods 
themselves went down into holes drilled into the bottom of the base, and 
was also held in place by hex nuts. You can then just raise or lower the 
top nuts, and the whole secondary will come up or down with it through the 
hole in the center. A picture can be seen at:

This picture is of the NST, but you can see three of the four threaded rods 
that holds up the wood platform directly behind it. I hope that wasn't too 
confusing...
As far as the protection circut goes, the simplest one I have found can be 
found here:

Hope all this helps. Feel free write back if you have any other questions. 
Gook luck!

Does anybody know of a good means of raising the secondary coil up and
down? Would I use a brass screw or a plastic one? The secondary would be
mounted on a plexiglass base. I guess this is an engineering question.
Also, can anybody recommend the site of a good NST protection circuit
using readily available parts? Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
