Hi Carl,

"The Fix" has a very small secondary.
http://community.webshots-dot-com/photo/1865657/2347435WdEMVNXkVL
It was wound on a 1" x 4" syringe. However, the electronics driving it is
very bulky!
the transformer I used was a half an OBIT - 5kv/23mA, but I think that the
4/20 Franceformer would have been a much more appropriate choice for that
project! I am going to change it out to the Franceformer one of these days,
because the tiny secondary is slightly overpowered with the OBIT.

Oops! The torroid does not quite shadow the top turn enough!
