Hi  Guys

In building a new coil I am wanting to do it right and also hope  to 
have it around for a long time. When I built my first coil I had no  
transformer protection other than a simple safety gap. Both of my  
transformers are still good even with out the filter.
I was wondering  if I really need this layer of protection? I run my coil 
with two 12/30  NST's and an RQ spark gap that contains 6 segments of 
1in. copper  couplers.
Second part I am wondering about AC line protection? I see that  some use 
an RF filter on the AC input.
If anyone has any advice /parts  list or completed Terry Filter I would 
also be interested in cost. I'm  trying to work within a pretty tight 
budget at the moment
so I would  suppose that making the filter myself would be best but just 
thought I  would ask.

As always thank you for your time and  guidance,

Vinnie



Hi Vinnie,
 
Terry filters, strike rails, fire extinguishers, fuses, air bags, seat  
belts, accident insurance, bike helmets, or  condoms. Some could argue that  there 
are all unnecessary baggage, and a significant portion of the time they'd  be 
right. In the last analysis, it all comes down to "Do you feel lucky today,  
sucka?"
