hello, i have been looking at a lot of SSTC recently and am finding 
them pretty cool. i was just wondering before i add up the component 
costs myself  if anyone had a ball park estiment off the top of their 
heads of how much a medium size (9 in sparks)  one of these things 
usually costs to build without the topload. thanks a bunch for the 
help, hopefully they cost around the same as a regular tesla coil.
ps. thanks to anyone that has answered my questions in the past, i 
just got my first small coil up and running and with a doorknob 
topload and a two bolt static spark gap i am getting around 14" 
sparks. when i have time ill make a RQ gap and a toriod topload and 
hopefully improve it a lot.
