need a ready made coil?
Original poster: dgoodfellow-at-highstream-dot-net
If anyone has not already seen it, I have a nearly complete coil offered on
ebay, with a big fat electrical hose, proper toroid, ganged variacs, and a
19,000 volt 4.2 kva non shunted transformer. Item number: 6120109635. Tell
your friends! Get all the scrounged components in one stop and forget the
years of lucky hamfest buys and junkyard searches. Of coarse, some of us
live near better junkyards than others. I am not one of the fortunate ones
with a great "Yard" nearby. The hurricanes did not get at this coil, but
work has been slightly reduced from the close calls. Of coarse Dan is
holding the carrot of solid state coils in front of us, so maybe it is time
to change directions. I remember being at Richard Hulls Teslathon back in
1996, where we were all spellbound by a 5 gallon paint bucket wound with 30
ga magnet wire, which was base driven from transistor components, and it
put out a 3/4" spark from a thumbtack, if it was properly tuned.
How things have changed since then!!!
