	The picture and the predominately one-sided discharge remind me very
much of the capacitor-discharge setups I've made using a couple of GBHEI
coils.  Similar spark length and appearance.  I seriously doubt that you
could get a couple of ma out.  The statement about Naudin stuff makes me
question the wisdom of the guy who said that but looks as if it should
be just fine for exciting gas discharge tubes.  Picture makes it look
like pretty neat construction.
