It is in the upper right.  The parts list is in this file under firing circuit:

It might make a Tesla coil all by itself if the values were fiddled 
with.  The tiny SIDAC things are pretty amazing and can do like 80 
amps!!  I have not been able to burn it out yet...  It works just 
like a spark gap but is really very "perfect" in how it runs.  Maybe 
they could make a big one that did 1000 amps and 20,000 volts!!

I am all set there.  But thanks for the kind offer!! ;-))

Cheers,
