Ok im beginning to build my Tesla Coil for a project. So far i only have a 6KV 60A NST..

is that 60 mA?

Is it a "solid state" NST? (which won't work) or a conventional transformer style (which will)



.will this be suitable to build a simple Tesla coil?

Yes


Also im working
on a budget and 7 wk deadline...is there like a simplified parts list or substitutions i can make that will cut down the cost for other parts for this project?



Transformer, capacitor, sparkgap, primary winding, secondary, topload..

Use a beer bottle/bucket capacitor (cheap, but heavy)
Use bare AWG12 or AWG14 wire as your primary, at least the first time.
Metal dryer vent hose and a metal pie plate make a fine topload.
